#temple #kaminarimon #tokyo Explore Tokyo's historical treasure: Kaminarimon Shrine The Kaminarimon Shrine, located in Asakusa, Tokyo, is a shrine full of history and culture. The official name of Kaminarimon is "Wind and Thunder God Gate", which symbolizes the protection of the wind god and the thunder god. This shrine is the entrance to Sensō-ji Temple and one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks. The history of Kaminarimon dates back to 942, when it was originally located in Komagata, south of Asakusa, but was later moved to its current location during the Kamakura period2. Kaminarimon has suffered fires many times in history, and the most recent reconstruction was in 1960 with a donation from Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Matsushita Electric (now Panasonic). This shrine is not only a center for religious activities, but also a place of worship for prayers to be protected from natural disasters such as floods and fires. The most eye-catching thing about Kaminarimon is the huge red lantern hanging above the gate. The lantern is 3.9 meters tall, 3.3 meters in diameter and weighs 700 kilograms. The lantern's frame is made of bamboo from the Tamba area of ​​Kyoto, and the Japanese paper on the outer frame is made of Japanese paper produced in Fukui Prefecture. There is also a carving of a dragon on the bottom of the lantern, symbolizing the protection of the dragon god. On both sides of the Thunder Gate stand statues of the God of Wind and the God of Thunder, which symbolize the awe and worship of the forces of nature. There are also statues of golden dragons and celestial dragons on the inside of the door, which are the gods that protect Buddhists. When visiting Kaminarimon Shrine, it is recommended to start from Kaminarimon to experience its grandeur. Next, you can stroll along Nakamise-dori, a shopping street filled with a variety of traditional crafts and gourmet snacks. Finally, enter Sensō-ji Temple to experience the majesty and sacredness of this ancient temple. 📍Address: Kaminarimon Shrine is conveniently located and is about a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line. Asakusa Station on the Toei Subway Asakusa Line, Tobu Skytree Line, and Tsukuba Express are also within walking distance.

If you are afraid of the coming and going of people, you can visit Kaminarimon at night. We arrived at around 10pm and took photos of the deserted Kaminarimon and Sensō-ji shopping street. Although the shops were closed, each iron gate had different Japanese paintings, which were very beautiful. I walked to Sensoji Temple and found that you can still draw lots in the temple at night! After shopping, you can go shopping at the donki next door and buy chocolate brulee that is not available in convenience stores💯

The last time I went to Asakusa Kaminarimon was during the day. Then I suddenly wondered what Kaminarimon looked like at night. So I went to shoot at night. At night, most of the shopping streets in Asakusa are closed. It was getting dark. The Kaminarimon Gate and Kinryuji Temple were all lit up, which was quite beautiful. There are fewer people and more tranquility and solemnity. It was very different from the lively scene during the day. If you are interested, you can also come for night photography.

Sensō-ji Temple is one of the must-see places in Tokyo. Shortly after exiting the Metro Asakusa Station, you will see the huge Kaminarimon lantern. This is the entrance to the oldest temple in Tokyo. If you want to take a photo here, you really need to be patient. Pass through the lanterns and walk along Nakamise-dori, where you can find a variety of delicious foods and amulets. Arrived at the next attraction in Sensō-ji Temple, Hozomon. There is a five-story pagoda on the side, which is a must-see attraction. There are large straw sandals next to it for taking photos. It is said that the fortune sticks at Sensoji Temple are very effective, costing 100 yen each time. It is said that many believers come here to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for guidance. Go and worship if you pass by. #I love traveling #BigJ loves traveling #ilovetravel #traveller #enjoymylife #workhardplayhard #foodies #jason_tai1106 #Tokyo #Sensoji Temple #Raimon #Nakamise Shopping Street

When talking about Tokyo, you must visit this place - Sensoji Temple! Even if the name is unfamiliar to you, if you see the photo of the big red lantern with "Kaminarimon" written on it, you will know that this is Tokyo. Transportation here is very convenient. You only need to take the subway to Asakusa Station (several railways can reach this station). Some tourists choose to rent kimonos here. The photos taken here will have a more Japanese feel. If you are interested, you can rent one from a rental shop near Kaminarimon first, and then wear it to visit shopping streets and temples. Some tourists will come here specifically to worship and pray (the Japanese have their own specific worship rituals. If you are interested, it is recommended to learn about it before praying), but our main purpose this time was to visit the scenic spots, so we just took some photos and checked in here and there (I heard that you can also take photos of cherry blossoms here in spring). After entering, there is a shopping street with all kinds of small shops, snacks, souvenirs, handicrafts, and everything else. You can walk around, eat, and buy at the same time. It is quite fun to walk around. Before we knew it, we had spent an hour taking pictures and walking around here. There are different "temples" and "hallways" in Sicao Temple, all with different functions. You can pay attention to their architectural features, which are quite interesting. You can also buy "Ema" inside, write your wishes on a wooden board, and then hang it on a wooden frame. Finally, I drank while walking, and I was so excited to see the beverage machine that I couldn’t help but order two bottles to try (because Japanese beverage packaging looks so cute, I wanted to try them all). #Tokyo Attractions #Sensō-ji Temple Kaminarimon #Check-in hotspot #prayer

Sensoji Temple is a popular tourist spot that attracts many tourists from both Japan and abroad. The Kaminarimon Gate is a popular photo spot. The approach to Sensoji Temple, which stretches for about 250 meters from the Kaminarimon Gate to the Hozomon Gate, is lined with shops called Nakamise. Many shops sell takeaway food, and you can see tourists happily strolling around eating as they walk. On holidays during the tourist season, there are so many people that it is difficult to walk properly, so we recommend that you walk while paying close attention to your surroundings. #Tokyo #TokyoTrip #Asakusa #Walking Around Asakusa #Walking Around Tokyo #tokyo #TokyoTourism

It's not really a trip, since it's a local place, but it's nice to come here every once in a while. Today the sunshine is warm and pleasant. Asakusa, which was once incredibly deserted, has become lively again thanks to the large number of Western tourists.

Asakusa Imahaki – My first time eating Sukiyaki in Japan The Wagyu beef was delicious and smooth in the mouth. The side dishes were like cold dishes. The rice had a distinct texture and was authentic Japanese rice. Although I still prefer Taiwanese rice, I went there just to eat the beef. If you don’t have enough money, you can try the beef rice. The video shows how to eat sukiyaki in Tokyo, and it seems that different places have different ways of eating it. #TokyoTravel #Tokyo #Japan #JapanFreeAsakusaImahan－The first time I spent a lot of money to eat Sukiyaki in Japan The Wagyu beef is delicious and smooth in the mouth. The side dishes are like cold dishes. The rice has distinct grains and is authentic Japanese rice. Although I still prefer Taiwanese rice, I go there just to eat the beef. If your pocket is not deep enough, you can try the beef rice. There are discounts during the lunch period, so it is relatively affordable. #TokyoTravel #Tokyo #JapanTravel #TokyoAsakusa #Sukiyaki #Valentine's Day Destinations #FoodGuide

I thought, "That's it!" 😂 What's more, they put the shaved pieces on the okonomiyaki right in front of you in the store, so it's fluffy and melts in your mouth 😍 When I went, I was able to get in just in time, but after that, there were a few other groups waiting behind me, so I recommend going early 🤤 #Couple trip #Gourmet #Historical sites #Gourmet trip #Tourism support #East Japan #Tokyo #Gourmet food #Summer trip #Asakusa #Kaminarimon #Monja #Okonomiyaki

A walk in Asakusa at night. Kaminarimon, the symbol of Asakusa, is beautifully lit up at night. The bright red gate was shining brilliantly. There were few people around, so this time of day might actually be the best time to take photos. #photogenicspot #EasternJapan

Speaking of sightseeing in Tokyo, Asakusa is the place to be! Because it was before COVID-19, there were a lot of foreigners in front of Kaminarimon! They were enjoying Japan. The fortune slips here often give bad fortunes. When I drew my fortune slip on this day, I was surprised to find that it was bad. They really do give bad fortunes quite often... Don't be discouraged. #QuintessaCampaign
