It has a history of being worshipped by many people, including warriors, and is said to offer blessings such as support in victory and happiness. The bronze statue of a winged demon-like figure in the precincts of the temple is called “Tengu,” and is believed to be a retainer of the gods and Buddha of Yakuoin.

About Tokyo

Neonoplyste kvarterer, stille helligdomme, fremragende mad og særprægede bydele udgør Tokyo, en enorm, velordnet metropol forbundet af punktlige tog.

Hvert kvarter føles som sin egen by. Shibuyas berømte fodgængerkryds og Shinjukus tårne, barer og stræder i Golden Gai pulserer af energi, mens Harajuku blander ungdomsmode med skovklædt ro ved Meiji Jingu-helligdommen. I Asakusa holder Sensō-ji-templet og dets markedsgade et ældre Tokyo i live, og Ginza byder på elegante stormagasiner og gallerier.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
