Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"!
This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video".
Today, I would like to introduce "Koichi Hakuchuu's post "Snow and Kaminarimon."
The snowy landscape, large lanterns, and scenery of Nakamise Street are fantastic photos.
Kaminarimon (Kaminarimon) is the main gate of Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo.
The official name is Furaijinmon, and it comes from the fact that the god of wind is on the right and the god of thunder is on the left side facing the gate.
The large red lantern with the word "Kaminarimon" written on it in the center of the gate is 3.9 meters high, 3.3 meters wide, and weighs about 700 kg.
It is a popular tourist spot as a symbol of Asakusa.
Kaminarimon has a long history, and the first Kaminarimon was built in 941.
After that, it was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, and the current Kaminarimon gate was rebuilt in 1960.
From the end of Kaminarimon to the entrance of Sensoji Temple, "Nakamise Street" that runs for about 250 meters is popular with tourists for eating and gourmets!
A variety of gourmet dishes such as fried buns, okaki, and kibidango are lined up, and the strawberry daifuku skewer with a love lottery at the manju restaurant "Kikusuido" has become a hot topic on SNS! You can enjoy strawberries, castella, and daifuku at once.
The standard doll grill as a souvenir of Asakusa is also recommended in bite-sized pieces and easy to eat.
