The best Tempura Restaurant that we had in Asakusa Tokyo Japan is called Tendon! The reason that its the best for us is because the price is cheap, big serving, and most of all, the seafood is really fresh! Its crispy on the outside and moist on the inside! If you love tempura, you have to check out this place!Nearby the Tendon Tempura Restaurant in Asakusa, Houses the oldest Buddhist Temple in Tokyo called Sensoji also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple.

Founded in 628, Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. Many people believe that the Asakusa Kannon deity enshrined here has the ability to bestow benefits on earth, and around 30 million visitors from throughout Japan and abroad visit the temple every year. It was the epicenter for the development of Edo culture, and these traces still remain today.

Dominating the entrance to the temple is the kaminari-mon or "Thunder Gate." This imposing Buddhist structure features a massive paper lantern dramatically painted in vivid red-and-black tones to suggest thunderclouds and lightning. Within the precincts stand a stately five-story pagoda and the main hall, devoted to Kannon.
