Sanctuary – Place of pilgrimage

Within the temple Sensō-ji enclosure stands one of the city's best-known shrines, Asakusa jinja, also known as Sanja-sama. Located east of the main building, it is marked by the stone torii. It was built in 1649 in honour of the 3 founders of Sensō-ji, and unlike the latter, it resisted the air raids of World War II. The sanctuary is at the heart of the Sanja-matsuri festivities in mid-May, when the o-mikoshi are carried in procession through the neighbourhood. With a bit of luck, you will also come across married couples there.

Many merchants await you and offer traditional objects (kimono, manekineko...) and pastries and sweets bearing the effigy of the hero of cartoons.
Do not miss at the entrance of the small sanctuary Ghibli shop that the corner, as well as the pretty paper mill.
