Higashi Honganji Temple, historical temple unknown.

When you hear a word, Asakusa, you probably imagine Sensoji or Kaminarimon. However, there is one temple unknown. It's Higashi Honganji, where its origin is from Kyoto and it has long history. After the big fire burned it down in 1657, the temple was transferred to Asakusa. It is worth visiting since it was drawn in a series of ukiyoes, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, by Hokusai Katsushika. The main building was rebuilt after the Great Kanto earthquake and WWII.
