Description: |
|
Sensoji 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. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess of
Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo's
oldest temple. |
