Magnificent big red temple in the middle of a nice easy going part of Tokyo. Loved the place. Great for an evening stroll, it is such a different atmosphere when the shops are closed and the lanterns are lightened up. Tons of rather inexpensive restaurants around the neighbourhood. If you like sushi try Maguro Bite
When I was there (April 2009) the big temple was being restaurated which takes away a lot of the charms. There are also a lot of different statues and tiny little shrines around the temple complex.

Incredible place, especially if it is the first temple you see in Japan. Nearby market is very good for souvenirs. Temple itself has a big garden around, five story pagoda and nice ponds with colourful tenches. Get there by Asakusa underground line.
