Sensoji Temple is a historic temple, the patron of Musashi Province. The main hall of the temple is designated as an important cultural property of the country, and it exudes an atmosphere that conveys a long history. Within the crowded precincts with worshippers, you can encounter scenes that retain the old-fashioned charm.
Every summer, Sensoji Temple holds a festival. During the festival, many stalls line up and the place is filled with people in yukata (summer kimono). It is a summer tradition where the temple is enveloped in a lively and bustling atmosphere, contrasting with its usual serene ambiance.
From late at night on New Year's Eve until late night on New Year's Day, the Nakamise shopping street at Sensoji Temple operates all night long. During this period, when many worshippers visit, the Nakamise shopping street is crowded with people.
