Sensō-ji is the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo.
The huge red gate, the Kaminarimon is so famous among tourists.
This is the bottom part of a massive paper lantern dramatically painted in vivid red-and-black tones to suggest thunderclouds and lightning.
A paper lantern is folded only at the time of
Sanja Matsuri and
typhoon arrival.
Beyond the Kaminarimon, let's proceed to Nakamise-dori!
You can enjoy various yummy Japanese snacks.
This is the Hōzōmon which provides the entrance to the inner complex.
The bottom part again.
This is a stately five-story pagoda.
Wanna try
O-mikuji?
If you wear the smoke from
a censer, you will be smart.
Saisen again!
