Sensoji temple, located in the Asukasa district of Tokyo, was founded in the 7th century by three fishermen who found a small image of the Boddhisatva Kannon in their nets. The approach to the temple begins at the Kaminarimon "Thunder Gate" and runs 140 meters northward along Nakamise-dori arcade, a crowded lane lined with shops. The Hozomon gate, at the end of the street, marks the entrance to the temple. The main hall, known as the Kannon Hondo, sits on axis with the gates. The temple is renowned for its giant red lanterns that hang from the gates and underneath eaves.

I had posted the pictures, but never talked about it with you – it’s a beautiful place!
