Asakusa's chief tourist draw is Sensoji Temple (popularly known as Asakusa Kannon Temple). It is the headquarters of the Sho-Kannon sect and is reputedly one of Tokyo's oldest temples, having been founded in 628.

The temple is approached from Kaminari Gate, with its huge red paper lantern.

The shopping street leading to the temple, Nakamise dori, is lined with souvenir and Edo-style craft shops. The vast Kannondo (Main Hall) first built in 1651, was destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in 1958. The hall is said to hold a golden image of the Goddess of Mercy (kannon) discovered by three fishermen in the 7th century. In front of the temple is a large cauldron of incense, smoke from which is believed to bestow good health.

To the left is a five-story, 48m-high pagoda (rebuilt in 1973) and modeled after a similar structure at Daigoji Temple in Kyoto. Near the pagoda is Dembo-in - a picturesque tea garden built in the 17th century by noted landscape gardener, Enshu Kobori. Although closed to the public, it may be possible to arrange a viewing by calling in advance at the temple's main office.

To the right of the temple is the Asakusa Shrine, which miraculously escaped war-time bombing. The shrine was built on the orders of the third shogun Iemitsu in memory of the three fishermen and is the home shrine of the Sanja Matsuri held in May and Tokyo's biggest and loudest festival.

There are many souvenir shops in this temple.

The tourist who visited Japan chooses each souvenir and buys it for a memory.

From my very limited experience in that market one has to be careful what he buys because it's not so much quality stuff. It's mostly good for buying stuff as gifts for your friends & family back home.

Thanks for the video though, it's nice to see this colourful market again. :)

Ahhh how do u resist buying all that stuff?? * U *
