Overview

Officially known as Fūrai-jinmon, Kaminarimon is the grand entrance to Sensō-ji and one of Asakusa’s most iconic landmarks. The gate is famous for its massive red lantern and the statues of Fūjin (Wind God) and Raijin (Thunder God) on either side. Tourists often take commemorative photos here. The lantern bears the name of its donor, Matsushita Electric (Panasonic), symbolizing the fusion of history and modernity.
