Sensō-ji, Buddhist temple in Asakusa, Japan
The main temple structure features a five-story pagoda, a titanium-tiled roof, and two entrance gates named Kaminarimon and Hozomon with large red paper lanterns.
Two fishermen discovered a statue of Kannon in the Sumida River in 628 AD, leading to the construction of the first temple buildings in 645 AD.
The temple holds daily Buddhist ceremonies where monks and visitors offer incense, prayers, and monetary donations while receiving blessings from resident priests.
The temple complex opens at 6:00 AM, closes at 5:00 PM during winter months, and provides free entry to all visitors throughout the year.
The Nakamise shopping street leading to the temple contains 89 stores in operation since the 12th century, selling traditional Japanese goods and local snacks.
