Must-see Illumination at Hozomon Gate

If you go through Nakamise from Kaminarimon, you will arrive at Hozomon. Nio statues are enshrined in the two rooms on either side. It was originally called Niomon, but was renamed in 1964. We recommend visiting at night to see the power of the Nio statues and their vivid vermilion color that stands out in the darkness. After learning about the history on the official website, you can pass through Hozomon and feel the faith of our ancestors. ⭐︎Every day from sunset to 11:00 p.m., you can enjoy the illuminations of Sensoji Temple's main hall, five-story pagoda, Hozomon, and Kaminarimon.
