This temple is located in Taito Ward, Tokyo, and is currently the head temple of the Sacred Kannon (Sho-Kannon) sect.
It is the oldest temple in Tokyo, with a history spanning nearly 1400 years. Known as “Asakusa Kannon,” it has gathered the faith of common people and became a central hub for the development of Edo culture.
Today, it is a major tourist attraction representing Tokyo, visited by many people from both Japan and abroad.
In the spring, 50 cherry blossom trees beautifully bloom, coloring the Nakamise and the temple grounds along the Omotesando approach.
Beyond the Kaminarimon Gate, which is a symbol of Asakusa, the Nakamise-dori street continues, lined with various shops such as restaurants, retro Japanese goods stores, and toy stores, offering a lively atmosphere in the spring.
Every year on April 8th, the “Bussho-e” ceremony is held to celebrate the birth of Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism.
Also known as the “Flower Festival,” visitors can be seen pouring sweet tea onto a small statue of the infant Buddha placed in the “Hana-mido” (flower pavilion) located in the outer sanctuary of the main hall and along the temple approach. The approach is bustling with many visitors throughout the day.
Address: 2-3-1 Asakusa, Taito Ward, Tokyo
