Asakusa is always bustling with tourists, but it has an especially large number of visitors during New Year's Eve, a celebration held on the last day of the year. The sound of a bell on New Year’s Eve rings throughout Senso-ji Temple and Kan-eiji Temple to serenely welcome the New Year. Standing in line for the first shrine visit of the year while listening to this bell, and filling yourself up at a food stall, are both enjoyable! It’s busy, but the start of the year is very exciting. Asakusa is an excellent place to spend a New Year's Eve!
