Kaminarimon or Thunder Gate fronting Asakusa Senso-ji, Temple was a popular spot to take a souvenir photo.

As one of the oldest and most venerated Buddhist temples in Tokyo, the Asakusa Senso-ji temple is a popular destination for tourists to snap a few photos. Kaminarimon or "Thunder Gate" fronts the pathway to the temple and features a huge lantern and two statues of the gods of lightning and thunder.
