On the last day in Tokyo we visited a Buddhist temple in Tokyo. The name of the temple is Senso-Ji. The first temple on this place was built around 645 AD. The present temple was built from scratch because the old one was destroyed during the Second World War.
First you have to go through a huge gate that Kaminarimon (Gate of Thunder) called. In the middle of the gate hangs a giant lantern (4 meters high, 670 kg Heavy).
then saw a road with shops for all sorts of knick-knacks but with the cherry blossom in really well. Oh the cherry on the shops are artificially ;-)
was unfortunately renovated the temple (renovation started 2 weeks before my visit ... tough luck). But compared to the pagoda was not "hidden".
In the temple could have then make a prediction. Take the container in your hand and shake. Is almost like toothpicks. Any staff comes out with a number. Then they pull out his prediction of the drawer. I was lucky and a good prediction. Bad news can get rid of, so to speak by anknotet this (see red frame).
The temple garden was beautiful and to my surprise very few visitors at the temple and in front of the temple were very many people.
everywhere it bloomed. Wonderful. Oh yes on this lamp is probably only a fakir but no dove.
At the end of the day (and then, as unfortunately the trip home on the Program), there was a genuine Japanese noodles (ramen) that we have eaten Ramen in a snack bar. Can only say one thing. Supergut. I've talked with the cook and only the soup is prepared the day before and cooked. Cooking time 18 hours. Can only say that was the best noodle soup I've ever had.
So Japan is definitely worth a visit. Unfortunately, time was too short. There is still so much to see.
"I'll be back ".....
