Komagata-dō, Buddhist hall in Kaminarimon, Japan
The Komagata-dō hall stands within the Sensō-ji complex, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and a massive central red lantern weighing 700 kilograms.
Military commander Taira no Kinmasa established Komagata-dō in 942 AD, with the current structure dating from 1960 after multiple reconstructions due to fires.
Four statues adorn the hall, with Fūjin and Raijin displayed on the front side, while Tenryū and Kinryū Buddhist deities appear on the reverse.
The hall remains accessible through major Tokyo transportation networks, with regular opening hours and dedicated space for religious ceremonies and prayer offerings.
During the Sanja Matsuri festival, the central lantern can be collapsed to allow tall festival objects to pass through the gate structure.
