Sensō-ji: Tokyo’s Buddhist Temple

#tokyospots 🙏 Main Hall (Hondō) The temple’s main hall is where visitors come to pray to Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Although the original golden statue is hidden from public view, people come from around the world to pay their respects, light incense, and seek blessings for health, fortune, and happiness. 🎍 New Year’s Visit (Hatsumōde) Sensō-ji is one of Japan’s most visited temples during the New Year holidays, when people come to pray for good fortune in the coming year. It becomes incredibly crowded, with a festive, spiritual atmosphere.
