Tokyo, Japan – Sensoji Temple Shopping Street Entrance

A large gate stood guard between the Temple and the shopping streets. It was beautiful and had three HUGE lanterns hanging inside the gate.  Rope knotted and weaved hangings were on the outside and it was painted in the same smooth red paint as the main Temple. 

This is a little garden to the side of this gate with several Buddhas, incense burning pots, and wooden prayer hangings.
