Tokyo   Bigger picture

70. Kaminari-mon

Back Main page Fwd
Kaminari-mon is the entrance to Senso-ji, the most profilic Buddhist temple in Tokyo. Founded in the seventh century, it by far pre-dates Tokyo as the centre of Japan. As you can see it is fairly crowded here, and when you cross the gate you find a long line of stalls selling all sorts of touristy things.
