Have you ever looked under the lantern at Asakusa's symbol, Kaminarimon?

[Asakusa Kaminarimon Gate] 📍Address: 2-3-1 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo 《Access》 Approximately a 1-minute walk from Exit 1 of Asakusa Station Approximately a 2-minute walk from Exit A4 of Asakusa Station Approximately a 2-minute walk from the Tobu Line Main Exit of Asakusa Station ✲✲✲✲✲:✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ The large lantern at Kaminarimon Gate, the symbol of Asakusa. Have you ever seen the dragon carving at the bottom? Asakusa was a town densely packed with wooden buildings and prone to fires, so the dragon, which brings rain and saves people from fires, was carved beneath the lantern at Kaminarimon Gate, which is one of its many symbols. The wooden dragon is said to represent the water god who brings rain, and represents the prayer that the city will not catch fire. #Tokyo #Asakusa #Kaminarimon #PaperLantern #TravelWithPochiKatsu
