This page is for people with no plans and no reservations: follow the order below and you have a day in Asakusa.

The main hall of Senso-ji opens at 6:30 even from October to March. At midday, Komagata Dozeu opens at 11:00 and Asakusa Imahan at 11:30. Tokyo Skytree opens at 10:00 on weekdays and 9:00 on weekends and holidays and stays open until 22:00 (last entry 1 hour before closing), so there is one plan that starts in the morning and one that starts at midday.

In short

A day when you can start in the morning: Plan A (Senso-ji at 6:30, Komagata Dozeu at 11:00, then Skytree).
A day when you set out at midday: Plan B (Asakusa Imahan at 11:30, Senso-ji, then Skytree).
Both can be reached on foot from Asakusa Station. Four lines serve Asakusa Station (the Tobu Skytree Line, Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, Tsukuba Express and Toei Asakusa Line), and Senso-ji officially describes it as 5 minutes on foot.

Checked with official pages on November 1, 2026 (Japan time). Prices and hours may change.
