Sensoji Temple

Located in Asakusa district, Tokyo, Sensoji Temple, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple, is Tokyo's oldest temple and a sacred spot across Japan, drawing more than 30 million visitors each year.

No matter how many times they returned the statue to the water, it kept coming back to them. That's why Sensoji Temple was built nearby in 645, making it the oldest temple in Tokyo and a Shinto shrine dedicated to Kannon.

It was a wonderful experience of getting our photos clicked on our special day - 25th wedding anniverary. Kay is very decent phtographer. He brought us around to the places to click photos where we could avoid the crowd . All our photos are clicked perfectly and it will be a lifelong memory for us.

We had such a great time with Ale. He was very knowledgeable and we felt like locals at the best spots at the best time of the day to take pictures in iconic spots and sceneries! Since we started our photoshoot at 8:00 am, as suggested by Ale, we had all photo locations to ourselves at Kamakura and Enoshima!! By the time we finished our shoot, we ended at Enoshima which when it started to get PACKED with tourists and visitors — but it was the perfect time to grab early lunch / snacks / visit the shops as everything started to open around 10:30-11:00 AM. Honestly, this was one of the best days of our 10-day Japan trip because we never get to take our pictures as a couple (normally just individual pics), but we got to take beautiful pics that we’ll show our kids someday — all thanks to Ale!! And then we got to experience everything Kamakura and Enoshima had to offer! It was hard to only choose the SIX photos to showcase the MANY pictures that Ale sent us — We are so grateful! Thank you!

What to know before visiting Tokyo

Quick snapshot of Tokyo’s experiences and timing

Tokyo’s busiest Klook categories are observation decks, museums and theme parks, giving the city a mix of skyline views, cultural visits and big-day attractions. Demand on Klook rises and falls through the year, with clear high and low periods that shape how crowded those experiences feel.

Best months to visit for price and crowds

Klook booking data shows demand peaks in February and falls to a trough in August. Prices, however, move differently: Klook’s data indicates the priciest month tends to be August while the cheapest month typically falls in June. That means crowds are lowest in August but prices are at their highest, whereas June often offers lower prices with more moderate demand. If you prefer smaller crowds and peak-season atmosphere, aim for February; if lower prices and quieter booking windows matter more, consider travelling in June.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Australian travellers typically book about two weeks ahead, so plan arrivals and big activities with that lead time in mind—especially during February when demand peaks. Many experiences in Tokyo can still be arranged a few days out, but locking in key observation deck tickets, museum entries or theme-park options around 15 days ahead gives you more certainty. Use Klook to secure those bookings in advance while keeping some flexibility for last-minute additions.
