Senso-ji

Temples are prominent landmarks in Japan. Not only are they magnificent in structure but they also house hundreds of years of history. The one we visited was Senso-ji the oldest temple in Tokyo. It is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Tokyo. Tourists go through Nakamise-dori the street that leads to the outer gate of the temple. The street was lined with shops selling all kinds of souvenirs and food.



The Kaminarimon or the Thunder Gate was the first structure to greet us upon entering the temple grounds. 

One notable article around temples are their zen garden. The one inside Senso-ji was truly amazing.
