Sanctuary – Place of pilgrimage

Within the precincts of Sensō-ji temple lies one of the city's best-known shrines, Asakusa jinja, also known as Sanja-sama. Located to the east of the main building, it can be identified by its stone torii. It was built in 1649 in honor of the 3 founders of Sensō-ji, and unlike the latter, it withstood the air raids of the Second World War. The shrine is at the heart of the Sanja-matsuri festivities in mid-May, when o-mikoshi are carried in procession through the district. If you're lucky, you'll also come across brides and grooms.
