Shrine / temple History

Arguably the most well-known temple in Tokyo, Sensoji is also the oldest temple in Tokyo, built in 628. With a long history of being caught in fires and disasters, Sensoji lived through many eras and stands strong today as a representation of commoner and commerce culture. Sensoji records over 30 millions visitors annually and continues its legacy as an icon of Tokyo.
