Senso-Ji temple
Senso-ji Temple, located in the Asakusa district of Tokyo, is the city's oldest and most significant Buddhist temple, dating back to 628 AD. Dedicated to the Bodhisattva Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy, it is a major spiritual and cultural landmark in Japan. Visitors approach the temple through the Kaminarimon Gate, a massive, iconic red lantern that marks the entrance to Nakamise Street, lined with traditional shops. The main hall, Hondo, houses a statue of Kannon, attracting worshippers and tourists alike. Senso-ji is not only a place of prayer but also a vibrant destination where visitors can experience traditional Japanese rituals, culture, and festivals, especially during New Year's and the annual Sanja Matsuri.
