Asakusa in Tokyo, Japan, I believe everyone has heard of it. Sensoji Temple is one of the oldest temples in Tokyo. Like domestic parks, it has become a place for people to play.

The gate of the temple is called "Leimen", and the official name is "Fengleimen". Bian Xiao also listened to a passage. A friend came here for the first time, saw the word "thunder gate" and blurted out: struggle! Laughing to death, Bian Xiao, this door is a Japanese facade and a symbol of Asakusa. How was this temple built? It is rumored that two fishermen used to fish in Miyagawa and fished up a 5.5-cm-high Guanyin statue, which needs to be enshrined in a temple! People nearby began to raise money to build this temple, namely Sensoji Temple. Later, in the following time, it was burned down several times and renovated. Its scale is getting bigger and bigger, so Tokugawa Ieyasu began to rebuild this temple from the early Edo period and turned it into a large temple group.

Here, in addition to seeing the inner hall of Sensoji Temple, Sensoji Temple's five pagodas and other famous buildings and historical sites are worth seeing. There is a commercial street across Sensoji Temple. There are a sea of people here every day, especially around New Year's Day, and pilgrims come to worship in an endless stream.

Go to the end of Zhongjianshi Shopping Street, which is Leimen in Sensoji Temple. When Leimen enters, there will be a commodity street, which is the main hall of Sensoji Temple. Sensoji Temple completely got rid of the secularity and tranquility that ordinary temples should have. On the contrary, Sensoji Temple feels like the Shanghai City God Temple, which is more lively and crowded, not as elegant and quiet as other Japanese temples. There are not as many temples in Tokyo as in Kyoto, which makes Sensoji Temple the most popular temple in Tokyo, and also the favorite free scenic spot for tourists visiting Tokyo.

Punching in is a good choice, but if you want to go to a temple in Kyoto, you don't have to go for fame at all. It's not fun to squeeze people.

Today, incense is very popular here, and it is also a famous place of prayer. The lucky draw in the temple is 100 yuan per person. Don't be discouraged if you draw a fierce ticket. Just tie it to the rope and tie it to the iron plate next to it, and all the bad luck will disappear! For good or ill luck, the Japanese predecessors said that in fact, as long as they feel unsure, they can tie them up and buy all kinds of wishes for peace and happiness. You can burn incense in temples and incense burners, which is one of the few temples in Japan where you can burn incense. It is said that smoking here helps to drive away bad luck and realize your wishes. Whether it's bad luck or not, smoking is excellent. Let's feel the temple fair culture in the neon country.

Wash your hands with a spoonful of water with a bamboo spoon in the sink, then rinse your mouth with a spoonful, then go to the temple to worship Guanyin, and leave some money as sesame oil money when you worship. I heard that Japanese monks are different from China monks. They can get married or drink. Will you see a handsome monk like Yamashita Shou when you go there? Sensoji Temple is not far from Sky Tree and Ueno, so we can play together!

After passing through the iconic Leimen, the shops on both sides are dazzling with goods. There is also an ice cream shop in Weibo, which has been very popular in recent years. It is located in the north of Sensoji Temple. Its full name is "_ 々 Xi _ Asakusa Store". The concentration of matcha in the store is divided into 7 grades, which is very interesting. If you go to Asakusa to punch in, you can go around and punch in again. What? By the way, I don't want to go anyway.

It's quite easy to stroll around the small streets near Sensoji Temple. You can buy troops and rickshaws. Those who know Japanese can sit down and let the little brother who pulls rickshaws be the tour guide.

Sensoji Temple is much quieter at night. Without daytime tourists and noisy shops, it seems to have a different flavor here. So if there are not so many people who want to see Sensoji Temple, let's have a look at it in the evening. Shops on both sides of the main street have been proofed, and ukiyo-e paintings are painted on the rolling gates. The style of Xiamachi in those days was vague.
