Sensoji Temple, a popular tourist spot representing Tokyo

Historic and prestigious temple

Sensoji Temple is a historic temple, the patron of Musashi Province. The main hall of the temple is designated as an important cultural property of the country, and it exudes an atmosphere that conveys a long history. Within the crowded precincts with worshippers, you can encounter scenes that retain the old-fashioned charm.

Bustling summer festival

Every summer, Sensoji Temple holds a festival. During the festival, many stalls line up and the place is filled with people in yukata (summer kimono). It is a summer tradition where the temple is enveloped in a lively and bustling atmosphere, contrasting with its usual serene ambiance.

All-night Nakamise shopping street

From late at night on New Year's Eve until late night on New Year's Day, the Nakamise shopping street at Sensoji Temple operates all night long. During this period, when many worshippers visit, the Nakamise shopping street is crowded with people. Eating Toshikoshi soba (buckwheat noodles eaten on New Year's Eve) in the crowd has become a familiar scene.

Easily accessible tourist spot

Sensoji Temple is located just a short distance from Asakusa Station where the Tobu Asakusa Line and Toei Subway intersect, providing excellent access. It is one of Tokyo's popular spots representing the city, attracting a large number of tourists from Japan and overseas throughout the year.

At Sensoji Temple, you can experience a unique atmosphere woven with tradition and modernity. In addition to the approach and the main hall that convey a sense of history, there are elements to enjoy for people of all ages and genders, such as the bustling Nakamise shopping street and stalls street.

Absolutely excellent experience! The food is fantastic and the chef is friendly and welcoming. He answered all of our questions about sushi making and the Japanese cuisine! He even went down and all the way outside to the street to say goodbye. It was such a special experience. Suggestion to anyone planning to experience Omakase in general: show respect and curiosity about the art of sushi making. These chefs have trained for 20 - 30 years to produce these unique meals. They can sense when customers are in it to check a box of things-to-do in japan. Being fully open to the cultural experience makes a huge difference

Great sushi experience. Its a course menu that the chef is preparing in front of you. Each dish is perfect and great quality. A bit over price 1 person with water cost 22,800yen

Shari was too sour and resulted in unbalanced sushi in the beginning, which is unfortunate as those pieces were more delicate tasting. The second batch of rice was better so it is probably due to inconsistency in the kitchen. Chef also seems to dislike guests taking photos of the food and was quite condescending towards foreigners, making unkind remarks in Japanese to the regular customers. It would make sense for the chef to focus on improving the quality of the sushi instead of worrying about the 10 seconds of photo time potentially ruining the nigiri.

If you’re looking for an authentic sushi omakase experience in Kyoto, Sushitoku is the right place. Amazing food, friendly staff. Worth every penny.
