-
Kaminarimon GateThe grand entrance to the Sensoji precinct - it is guarded by two fierce deities and is famous for its huge lantern.

Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon)This shopping street has existed for centuries. We'll stop at a few shops that have been a favourite since the Edo era.

So, we'll visit the temple as a local would - we'll brush incense smoke over ourselves and wet our hands at a spring to cleanse away bad spirits.

Autumn leaves are appreciated. Within the grounds is a golden Toshogu (mausoleum dedicated to Tokugawa - last unifying Shogun) and an over 600 year old tree that predates it. We'll dig into how Tokugawa shaped a nation and made the Tokyo we know today.
