What makes it 77% Baby-Friendly: Ramps, elevators, diaper tables and nearby nursing rooms help carers, yet tight pathways, drum noise and smoke can unsettle or wake an infant.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time for key sights, baby breaks, and nursing without rushing
Barrier-free Main Hall access:
Use the elevator and ramp from the east side of Kaminarimon Gate to reach the Main Hall without stairs.
Tip: Look for the small red building marking the elevator entrance to avoid crowded stairs.
Stroller-friendly Nakamise stroll:
Walk along the paved Nakamise shopping street with your stroller and baby.
Tip: Stay in the center of the path to avoid uneven cobblestones at the edges.
Visit nursing and diaper rooms:
Stop at Asakusa Tourist Info Center (2F) or Senso-ji grounds for nursing or diaper changes.
Tip: Note opening hours (9am–8pm) and bring a light blanket for privacy.
Draw an omikuji fortune:
Try a fortune slip at the wooden boxes near the Main Hall.
Tip: Let baby shake the box and read the English translation together.
Rest at the 8th-floor deck:
Enjoy city views and seating at Asakusa Culture Tourist Info Center.
Tip: Use the free elevator to avoid carrying your stroller up and rest on benches.

Excellent place! We joined a free walking tour about the history of the Dragon Temples and the meaning behind each one. They even read your fortune — mine wasn’t great, so I tied it to a rack for the monks to cleanse it. The tour also includes the famous shopping street and ends at the final temple, where the goddess resides.

I went there early in the morning. Shops near the entrance weren’t open yet. The temple atmosphere was still as lovely as before, but Japan in June is extremely hot. I first came here 8–9 years ago and bought a lucky charm. Today, I bought one again to pray for my family, loved ones, and myself. It’s a beautiful place. Lots of tasty food around. I recommend the green tea shop and melon pan in a sm...

Great sights and photo opportunities. Definitely a must when visiting Tokyo, and even during peak hours with lots of visitors, you can always find great photo compositions, things to do and food to try. Upon arrival, I went first to the tourism/visitors building across the street, since one can go to a high floor to see the temple and preceding vendor streets in their true dimension.

The temple is very beautiful, it's very crowded in the day, but at night it's very nice. The shrine itself is very beautiful and the whole temple is definitely a necessity in Tokyo. You should absolutely visit it. The only thing I have to say ,is that it's very commercialized as there are too many shops that have nothing to do with the temple.

The senso-ji temple is very beautiful. Especially due to the street vendors in front of the temple. It really brings a colorful and vibrant environment to the place. You will find numerous souvenirs such as fridge magnets, post cards, maneki neko cat, and varieties of food. Try exploring the restaurants located in the branches of the main road. There are quite good ramen shops situated over there ...
Avoid Sanja Matsuri (3rd weekend in May) when crowds surge. Visit in late autumn for cooler weather and fewer visitors.
