Within the temple Sensō-ji enclosure stands one of the city's best-known shrines, Asakusa jinja, also known as Sanja-sama. Located east of the main building, it is marked by the stone torii. It was built in 1649 in honour of the 3 founders of Sensō-ji, and unlike the latter, it resisted the air raids of World War II. The sanctuary is at the heart of the Sanja-matsuri festivities in mid-May, when the o-mikoshi are carried in procession through the neighbourhood. With a bit of luck, you will also come across married couples there.

Endroit très agreable a visiter , les allées piétonnes qui y mènent sont bordées de petites échoppes avec des petites souvenirs typiques .Il y a par contre, beaucoup de monde car quartier très touristique .Le temple en lui même est plus calme avec des jolis jardins ou on peut s'attarder un peu pour profiter de la spiritualité du lieu.

Available scenery in the heart of Tokyo! You must try its possibility by buying a small paper which is perhaps show you " best Fortune" ! (for some rooms)

Many merchants await you and offer traditional objects (kimono, manekineko...) and pastries and sweets bearing the effigy of the hero of cartoons.



Do not miss at the entrance of the small sanctuary Ghibli shop that the corner, as well as the pretty paper mill.
