Asakusa Shrine

Undoubtedly the most famous shrine in Tokyo, the Asakusa Shrine is a major religious site in Tokyo. The beautiful temple grounds not only have interesting historic buildings, statues and pagodas, but are like a constant street fair with food and souvenir booths. Unlike airports and the like, instead of T-shirts, most of the souvenirs are hand-crafted and authentic, but a bit more expensive.
