Tennoji Temple

Reviewed By erikoh303 - Manila, Philippines

Tennoji Temple wasn't in my plans; I just let the YaNeSen walk surprise me whatever I can find. Tennoji Temple is the first part of the YaNeSen walk, together with Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street and Yanaka Cemetery. Unlike Sensoji Temple in Asakusa that is full of people, Tennoji Temple has less visitors. My first impression of Tennoji Temple is that the bronze Buddha resembles that of Kamakura, but smaller. As a traveller who loves religious sites, Tennoji Temple is a good place to pray and to have quiet time. This part of Tokyo is worth the visit! Tennoji Temple is my favorite Buddhist temple, and one of the oldest temples in Japan!
