Recommended scenic spots in Sensoji Temple, Tokyo
Sensoji Temple Leimen
When you come to Sensoji Temple, the first one must be Ramon. This is the entrance to Sensoji Temple. Everyone's first impression of Sensoji Temple is that there is a red lantern hanging at the gate. The lanterns here are 3.9 meters high and weigh nearly 700 kilograms!
The whole Leimen is mainly red, and sculptures of Fengshen and Raytheon stand on both sides of the door. The whole architectural style is solemn!
Zhong Jian Fashion Commercial Street
After entering Leimen, you can see this shop street, which is called the oldest shop street in Japan. This shop street is 250 meters long, and there are more than 100 shops in the whole street, among which taro mutton soup, a specialty here, is the most famous!
Sensoji Temple Treasure Gate
Cross the shopping street, and this is the treasure gate. There are statues of Wang Ren on both sides of the gate. This is the patron saint of Sensoji Temple, blocking the invasion of demons, so the sculpture's face is very nervous. In addition, there is a 4.5-meter-high giant straw sandals in the gate!
Pay attention to the visit
Before paying homage here, you must wash your body and mind in the royal water house (hand-cleaning pool) here. Ladle water from the mouths of eight dragons. Be sure to make these preparations before visiting the shrine!
1. Hold the handle ladle with the right hand, scoop water, and wash it with the left hand;
2. Hold the handle ladle in the left hand and rinse it with water in the right hand;
3. Dip water into the palm of your left hand with your right hand, and then rinse your mouth with the water in the palm of your left hand. Don't send the water in the spoon directly to your mouth to gargle;
4. Finally, erect the spoon and wash the handle with the remaining water;
5. Put the handle ladle back to its original position;
Then you can visit the shrine. Before you visit the holy land, you must put in coins. Generally, it's mainly five dollars and fifty dollars, for example. Because five is a good meaning in Japanese custom, this coin toss process also awakened the Buddha!
