Sensoji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple, is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo’s most colorful and popular temples. The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. The Sensoji Temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo’s OLDEST temple! You enter the Senso-ji temple through the Kaminarimon, or “Thunder Gate”.
