Sensō-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism, it became independent after World War II.

Photography Tips

This image was taken at around 6am in the morning to get the light. Midday the light can be very harsh, also Sensō-ji gets extremely busy as it's very popular - great if you like street photography, but not so much if you don't want lots of people in your shot.
