Itinerary
Kaminarimon, or the "Thunder Gate," serves as the iconic entrance to Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo. Flanking the gate are statues of Fujin, the god of wind, and Raijin, the god of thunder. Its massive red lantern, suspended in the center, makes it a well-known and highly photographed landmark.
This lively shopping street, leading to Sensoji Temple, is packed with shops offering traditional Japanese snacks, souvenirs, and handcrafted goods.
As one of Tokyo's oldest and most renowned temples, Sensoji is dedicated to Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Its iconic Kaminarimon gate is a popular photo spot. ※ The main hall closes at 6 PM, so entry may not be possible after that time.
Located next to Sensoji Temple, Asakusa Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to the three men who founded Sensoji. Built in the 17th century, it survived World War II and remains a symbol of harmony between Buddhism and Shintoism in Japan. The shrine is also known for hosting the famous Sanja Matsuri, one of Tokyo's biggest festivals.
