【When you think of Tokyo!】Asakusa Sightseeing

Asakusa Temple is a must-see when visiting Asakusa⛩️

Asakusa Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo, with a history of nearly 1,400 years. It is the head temple of the Shōkannon sect, and it is said that the main hall enshrines the Sacred Kannon Bodhisattva (a hidden Buddha).

In front of the "Kaminarimon," the main gate, is one of Asakusa's top photo spots. It is bustling with many tourists every day✨
Since its founding, the Kaminarimon has been repeatedly destroyed by fire and rebuilt, and the current Kaminarimon was donated in 1960 by Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Panasonic (then Matsushita Electric)!!

The historic Asakusa Temple is highly recommended✨
