Senso-Ji At Night

When traveling to Japan on your own, the biggest benefit is having the freedom to revisit sites again.  We loved the Senso-Ji Temple so much that we decided to go back at night.  The Gate Hotel is nearby, and we could easily walk there after dinner!  Although we had a memorable experience during the day, the temple transformed into a tranquil place at night, free from the crowds of people.  Our second visit offered a different perspective as this Asakusa landmark lit up in the darkness.
Most of the shops on Nakamise close at 5pm.

It was very calm and peaceful at night.
