2. This temple is famous for housing a Buddhist statue of Kannon, Goddess of Mercy, with eleven faces and a thousand arms. Each of the eleven faces represents a different phase in the search for enlightenment. The 9.18 meter tall, gilded wooden statue is regarded as one of the largest wooden sculpture in Japan.　You can also enjoy the pretty garden with ponds and the Jizo-do Hall with hundreds of small statues of the Jizo Bodhisattva who helps the souls of dead children to reach the paradise.

3. This shrine was originally built in 1063 and dedicated to the Emperor Ojin (God of War) and the Shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo among others. An interesting fact of this shrine is that it was not only a Shinto "Hachimangu" shrine, but also a Tendai Buddhist temple for most of its history.

About Tokyo

Neonbelyste bydeler, stille helligdommer, fantastisk mat og særpregede nabolag utgjør Tokyo, en enorm, velordnet storby forbundet av punktlige tog.

Hver bydel føles som sin egen by. Shibuyas berømte fotgjengerkryss og Shinjukus tårn, barer og smug i Golden Gai pulserer av energi, mens Harajuku blander ungdomsmote med skogkledd ro ved Meiji Jingu-helligdommen. I Asakusa holder Sensō-ji-tempelet og dets markedsgate et eldre Tokyo i live, og Ginza byr på elegante varehus og gallerier.

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