Sensoji Temple

#TokyoTravel I have been to many places abroad, but my favorite is still Japan. When you visit Tokyo, you will definitely include a visit to Sensoji Temple in your itinerary! ! Especially taking pictures with the famous landmark "Kaminarimon" 📷～～I had the same mentality when I went there for the first time, and I had a deeper understanding when I visited it several times later~I want to take everyone to learn a little about the history of Sensō-ji Temple📖～～ History: According to legend, in 628 AD, fishermen found a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Sumida River. Sensoji Temple was built to enshrine this statue. In 645 AD, Katsukai came here and built the Guanyin Hall. According to a dream, the main Buddha was designated as a secret statue. This rule of transmission is strictly observed to this day. Sensoji Temple is located in a fishing village in Irie, Tokyo Bay, one of the vast Musashino fields. It has grown and prospered with the increase in the number of worshippers. In the early Heian period, Jikaku Daishi Ennin (794-864), the founder of Sensoji Temple and the third abbot of Tendai on Mount Hiei, came to the mountain and carved the main Buddha statue. The period when Sensoji Temple really flourished was the Kamakura period! ! Because many famous military commanders converted to Buddhism, it also laid the foundation for the important status of Sensoji Temple and Buddhist belief! ! 🕰️Business hours: You can visit the main hall 24 hours a day!
