Tokyo Itinerary (Part 2) | Northen Tokyo | Zanne Xanne’s Travel Guide
We are on a tight budget for the Tokyo’s trip, hence we have to be aware of how much we are spending on the transportation. As a result, I have divided my itinerary into few places: Northen Tokyo, Central Tokyo, Southern Tokyo, Kawaguchiko Lake and Disneyland in order to save the travel time and cost.
SENSOJI TEMPLE
It is one of the popular and ancient Buddhist temples located in Asakusa, Tokyo. The outer gate of Sensoji Temple – Kaminarimon is a symbol of Asakusa and there’s a 200m shopping street Nakamise leads from the outer gate Kaminarimon to the second gate Hozomon. Don’t forget to put on the colourful and lovely kimono while exploring Sensoji Temple in Asakusa! Click HERE for more kimono rental info in Asakusa.
