As Tokyo’s oldest and most revered Buddhist site, Senso-ji Temple stands as a colorful hub of tradition and spirituality in the historic Asakusa district. Visitors from all over the world flock to its grand halls to partake in ancient rituals, including drawing paper omikuji fortunes offered in multiple languages. Should you draw an unlucky prediction, you can easily tie the paper slip to nearby wires to leave the misfortune behind and spirit away bad karma. Blending sacred atmosphere with lively cultural allure, it remains an essential stop on any journey through Japan.
