Asakusa Shrine, Shinto shrine in Asakusa district, Japan.
The Asakusa Shrine stands near Sensō-ji temple, featuring traditional wooden structures constructed in the Ishi-no-ma-zukuri architectural style.
Established in 1649 under Tokugawa Iemitsu's commission, this shrine honors three individuals who discovered the Kannon statue in the Sumida River.
The shrine received designation as an Important Cultural Property in 1951, marking its role in preserving Japanese religious traditions.
