Avoiding crowds at Senso-ji Temple and Shibuya Crossing - early morning Tokyo timing

Since everyone asked (nobody asked), heres how to see famous tokyo spots without wanting to throw tourists into tokyo bay

Senso-ji temple asakusa: 6am or after 7pm. Local obaasan pray early before work, tourists sleep late. Revolutionary concept apparently for visiting actual functioning buddhist temple

Meiji shrine shibuya: weekday mornings practically empty except joggers. Weekend mornings have traditional shinto wedding ceremonies which are actually worth witnessing if you're respectful

Shibuya crossing: novelty wears off after 30 seconds anyway but if you must - lunch hour weekdays for maximum salary worker chaos or very late night for photos without tour groups clogging the hachiko statue

Apparently being "definitely not jeff" qualifies me to give tokyo travel advice now. Who knew fake names had such authority over yamanote line tourism
