As soon as you leave out of Exit 1 of Metro Ginza Line, go right and there is Kaminarimon

Famous Kaminarion. Due to Sanja matsuri going on this day, the lantern is folded up. On left, it's Raijin, god of thunder. On left it's Fujin, god of wind. They were worshiped to avoid damages from storm and fire. Now they are for world peace and bumper harvest, too.

It's the famous lantern but have you seen the bottom of it? In facet, a dragon is engraved on a bronze plate.

Don't forget to check the other statues on the other side of Raijin and Fujin. The two are Tenryu and Konryu which are gods of Water. This is the statue of Konryu.
