4. Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon)
This shopping street is one of the most famous on social media. Of course, it is highly touristic, but that street and its surroundings should be on everybody's bucket list when visiting Japan for the first time. After reaching Sensoji Temple, you will get free time to walk around the Nakamise-Dori and meet your guide directly back at the main entrance, at the Kaminarimon.
