Sensoji Temple, Chin-go-do Hall
日本、〒111-0032 東京都台東区浅草２丁目３−１２
Located in Taito Ward, Tokyo, this is the oldest temple in the city, enshrining the Holy Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva as its principal deity. Also known as 'Asakusa Kannon,' it has long been a beloved place of entertainment for commoners since the Edo period.
History
According to tradition, in the 36th year of Emperor Suiko's reign during the Asuka period (624 CE), a temple was established by Toshi Nakatomi after a pair of fisherman brothers pulled a Buddha statue from their net. Later, Katsukai founded the temple, and Ennin served as the second founding abbot, overseeing its development. Tokugawa Ieyasu granted the temple land as a place of prayer. Between 1648 and 1649, the five-story pagoda and main hall were rebuilt with the support of Tokugawa Iemitsu.
