Asakusa Sensoji Temple – A Must-Visit When Wearing Kimono in Asakusa!
When you say “Asakusa,” you’re talking about “Sensoji Temple.” Taking photos in a kimono in front of the temple guarantees Instagram-worthy shots!
You can capture the kimono’s atmosphere beautifully in photos. Sensoji Temple is often less crowded than other photo spots, making it relatively peaceful.
While taking photos from the front may be challenging due to the crowds, there are many great photo spots, such as in front of the five-story pagoda. Experimenting with different angles can create unique and wonderful photos.
Rent a Kimono in Asakusa and Stroll Along Nakamise Shopping Street
After visiting Sensoji Temple, take a leisurely walk along Nakamise Shopping Street.
You can capture the lively atmosphere with many tourists in photos. You might even be approached by tourists from overseas who want to take photos with you.
As there are many restaurants and food stalls, you can also take Instagram-worthy photos with delicious food!
Make Sure to Capture the Front of the Thunder Gate at Sensoji Temple
If you continue straight ahead, you’ll arrive at the Thunder Gate of Sensoji Temple.
Since it can get quite crowded in front of the Thunder Gate, it might be challenging to find the perfect timing for photos. However, people around you tend to be considerate when you’re wearing a kimono.
Also, taking photos with the large lanterns in the background is a classic Asakusa image. Taking pictures from below, with the wooden-carved dragon on the bottom of the lantern, is also recommended. It’s said to bring good luck, so you can capture Instagram-worthy photos while receiving blessings!
The Riverside of Sumida River – Another Great Place for Kimono Photos
Additionally, the riverside of Sumida River is also an Instagram-worthy spot.
You can enjoy views of famous landmarks such as Skytree and the Asahi Group headquarters building, which are often seen on TV and Instagram.
Moreover, it’s a wonderful place for photography not only during the daytime but also at night.
The area around Azumabashi Bridge is also a fantastic spot for taking photos, so taking a walk there is a good idea.
Even the photos used on the website of Asakusa’s Rikawafuku were taken in Sumida Park.
