Today, Sam and I visited the beautiful Senso-ji temple which is one of the best places to take a glimpse into Tokyo’s historic past. The Buddhist temple is also known as the Asakusa Kannon Temple and it is located in shitamachi, which means “low town.” A “golden Kannon” is also known as “the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.” Legend has it that the Kannon has been on the same spot for nearly 1500 years, though the temple that exists today only dates back to 1950.
Gambatte Kumasai Sensei!
