The oldest temple in Tokyo is Sensoji. Located in Asakusa is really is a wonder of the city. Such a place of beauty is worth checking out. I made a recent visit to this temple and offer my thoughts. Also, I offer up plenty of photos for all to enjoy!

Temples don't do much for me. I'm more of a shrine man,myself. Buddhism is such a foreign religion to me, even though it has been around for centuries in Japan. I think Shinto is the purest and most natural religious form of expression in Japan.
I am not much on religion. I just like to see the temples and how beautiful they are. Shrine, Temple I do not really care what people choose to call them.
That's like saying a mosque and a church is all the same. Or maybe they're all the same for your freedom...
In a generic sense they are all the same. They are all considered to be liminal spaces where the deity(ies) or the divine and humans can mingle. The terms are specific to the religion and that is about it. Shinto has shrines and Buddhism has temples. That is really a superficial difference apart from those present in each and every different religion.
