Receive good fortune at Asakusa Temple, a must-see for those who love fortune telling. 🏮

Asakusa Kannon Temple, also known as Sensoji Temple, is a famous temple in Tokyo that both Japanese and foreign tourists must visit at least once. It is a recommended place for everyone to visit when visiting Tokyo.

⛩️ Sensoji Temple is an old temple and is considered the most popular in Tokyo. Its main highlight is the large red lantern that stands tall from the entrance. As you walk in, you will find Nakamise Shopping Street, which is lined with souvenir shops, amulet shops, and restaurants along the way to the temple.

This temple was completed in 645. Legend has it that around 628, two brothers went fishing in the Sumida River and fell a statue of the Goddess of Mercy. No matter how hard they tried to throw the statue back into the river, the statue would always come back to them. Therefore, this temple was built to enshrine the statue of the Goddess of Mercy, which has become a famous temple to this day. 🇯🇵🎏🏮

One of the beliefs of the temple is that there is an incense pot in front of the temple. It is believed that if we wave the incense smoke towards ourselves, it will bring good luck. And if we make merit with 5¥ coins or Go-en coins, we will receive even more good luck.

For those who want to buy amulets to worship, you can choose to buy them throughout the temple and outside the shop. There are many to choose from to worship for health, work, money, study or love. 🎐

After making merit at the temple, you can go out to find something to eat or buy souvenirs around the temple. Because this area is another area with many souvenir restaurants, such as the famous melon bread shop that anyone who comes to Asakusa must not miss.
