About
Monumental gate with a 3.9-meter red lantern marking the entrance to Sensō-ji temple.
The Kaminarimon gate, recognizable by its massive suspended red lantern, marks the entrance to Sensō-ji temple. It's one of Tokyo's most photographed landmarks. Nakamise-dori shopping street begins just beyond. Expect heavy foot traffic during the day.
