TokyoSkytree and five-storied pagoda
Senso-ji is the oldest temple in Tokyo. In 628, two fishermen, the brothers Hinokuma Hamanari and Hinokuma Takenari, were fishing with their fishnet at Sumida River. Then they caught a sculpture of bodhisattva Kannon, then they turned to monks and dedicated it to Senso-ji. This is the beginning of this temple.
