This temple is oldest of Tokyo, it was built in 645. But vicissitudes of time (fires, wars) had made a lot of destructions and the majority of buildings which are around are recent. The temple has been restored at the end of the Fifties, but the Kaminarimon gate was built in 1960. |
As in the majority of the temples in Japan, the japaneses burn incense before to go to pray. |
Around the temple, in a garden we can finds several small buildings as well as many statutes. |

We had the chance to see a Geisha which went to the temple. It's the only one that we will see in Tokyo, we will have more chance in Kyoto. |
In the streets in the neighbourhoods you can finds Tokyo of the Fifties. It's here one of the rare district from the city which is preserved modernism. |
You can find also in the area some traditionnal shops. We will retrieved that type of building structure in Kyoto. |
Near the Senso-Ji temple, there is the Hanyashiki attraction park. It's in that small park that you can find the oldest roller coaster of Japan. |
We attended a spectacle for children in the Hanayashiki park. Spectacle in the pure mangas tradition. |
