Asakusa Kannon Temple

Asakusa Kannon Temple or Shensoji, is the oldest Buddism temple in Tokyo. It was built in year 628 AD.

"The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess of Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo's oldest temple. "

It was a fantastic feeling for eing there to see the historical building with my own eye!

I remember this is what they call "the house for God", if I'm not mistaken.
