The Five-storied Pagoda

This pagoda, founded in 942, was rebuilt by Tokugawa Iemitsu in 1648. It burned in 1945 during World War II and was reconstructed in 1973. On that occasion, memorial tablets of devout believers who had passed away were placed in the pagoda's foundation, and a bone relic of the Buddha presented by Sri Lanka was placed in the topmost storey of the pagoda.

One of my favourite shrine, definitely a must-visit. They also so handwritten goushin, so make sure to grab one. take a lot photos and enjoy the vendors and get your fortune for sure.

This five-storied pagoda is one of the most famous in Japan. Its height is 53.32 meters, which is about the height of an 18-story building.

The original pagoda is said to have been built in 942 A.D. In the Edo period, along with the pagodas of Kan-eiji, Ikegami Honmonji, and Shiba Zojoji, it was regarded as one of the "Four Edo Pagodas". It was destroyed in an air raid during World War II and then rebuilt at its current location thereafter. There is a stone monument standing at the original site.

People lost their mind to rate these kinds of historic site anything other than 5 stars.

I wonder what else is better on Earth.

Beautiful place at night but don't arrive too late as all the shops will be closed.

Well worth a visit, beautiful area both day and night.

The view of this building was amazing! We took a lot of instagramming photos there!

五重塔 Gojūnotō [Five Story Pagoda]
A landmark visible from much of the Asakusa area. Beautifully lit in the evenings. The associated buildings are vast.
There are a pair of large komainu (lion dogs) on the North side near the 奧山門 Okuyama-mon Gate.

It looks splendid both at night and during a day

The five-story pagoda.
It stands 48 meters high, so you will see it from almost anywhere in the square of Snsoji Temple.
The original building burned down and this is a reconstruction.

This 5-storied pagoda is beautiful and easily photographed from any angle. However, if you are seeking the ultimate angle, you need to move around to find the best light possible. Mornings are quite good in the Summer or Spring, when the light hits the pagoda.

At night, visitors are allowed to come here and the 5-tier pagoda is lit up beautifully, so photography at night is also possible. This pagoda was built in the 7th century and no one is allowed inside. You can read up more about this pagoda by searching on Google.

Best pagoda I have ever seen.

Most iconic pagoda in toyko

A very beautiful place, especially for photos

Great pagoda and good vibes around it.

Funny, first time I saw a pagoda was when I played Pokemon Yellow on the GameBoy when I was young. So when I was actually able to see it in real life, I was beyond excited. I loved seeing this five storied pagoda alongside Senso-ji Temple.

The architecture behind it is incredible. I may have been more impressed by the structure of the pagoda even more. If you’re in the area during the evening, the pagoda looks even more magnificent.

A famous Buddhist Temple in Asakusa surrounded by other famous landmarks, hundreds of small shops, restaurants and bars. It's a great place to visit both day and night time. During the day at the weekend gets really crowded

Very cool five story pagoda near sensoji temple.

Absolutely stunning Pagoda that is well maintained and lit up at night for a stunning view.

This is a very sacred Buddhist pagoda. It is a part of Sensoi-ji Temple, which has the highest number of religious tourists a year, and that is more than thirty million. The pagoda has limited access. It is built in a typical Buddhist temple fashion that is prevailed in Japan. I heard that hairs of Gautam Buddha was brought here from Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The red colour of the building on a square plan, and the elongated roof of every floor give it a typical temple look. It is mesmerising to look at, and gives a serene ambience. The Temple is visible from far, whether in Asakusa, or in Ueno. It attracts devotees from around the world. It has a picturesque view. Tourists like to take picture with it.
