According to legend, in the thirty-sixth year of Tugu (AD 628), two fishermen fished in Miyagawa and picked up a 5.5 cm high Guanyin statue. People nearby raised funds to build a temple to worship this Buddha statue, which is Sensoji Temple. Since then, the temple has been burned repeatedly and destroyed several times. In the early Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu rebuilt Sensoji Temple and turned it into a large group of temples and a playground for nearby Edo citizens.
From Asakusa Tourist Center to Sensoji Temple, you need to pass through a long street, where there are all kinds of small objects and snacks, most of which are the characteristics of the Edo era. The live production process is quite interesting. If there are too many tourists, it is recommended to take the street behind these specialty shops. The flow of people is much smaller, and there will be more tourists after entering Sensoji Temple.
After coming out of Asakusa subway station, it is Asakusa tourist center. Visitors who want to know more about Asakusa can go in for consultation. In fact, there is another way to better experience Asakusa's life, and that is to take a rickshaw outside. The rickshaw pullers, dressed in traditional clothes, pull tourists into the surrounding alleys and observe the daily life of nearby residents at close range. If you have time, I suggest you go to Sensoji Temple to feel the ride and experience the traditional culture.
