Visiting Tokyo Temples and Shrines with Kids
This family's experience:
Activities: We visited Sensoji or Asakusa Kannon Temple with the kids. We saw a big incense burner in front of the temple and the smell was prevalent. We followed the locals and fanned or rubbed ourselves with the smoke, or somewhat tried to inhale the smoke
Highlights: The kids enjoyed the Omikuji, random fortunes written on paper strips. We also enjoyed the lively atmosphere, the beautiful 5 story pagoda and the not-to-be missed Nakamise dori shopping area ✨
