The official name of Sensoji Temple comes from the Golden Dragon Mountain, and it is called "Golden Dragon Mountain Sensoji Temple", and the name "Golden Dragon Dance" comes from the name of this mountain. "Golden Dragon Dance" is a dance that started in 1958 to commemorate the reconstruction of the main hall of Sensoji Temple, Kannon Hall. This dance is based on the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in Sensoji Temple. According to legend, she appeared as a golden dragon that descended from the sky, and overnight she created a thousand pine trees that symbolize a good harvest. 
The 18-meter-long, 88-kilogram shining golden dragon dances gorgeously to the music of the celebration, and this scene is absolutely impressive.

The area is very nice and interesting. Need to be on time based on the booked time slot as visitor will enter based on batches .   If you would like dressed up for the tour, can be there early to buy yourself the costume and magic wand . It is very nice experience .

It was last minute decision to go as it was raining all morning but luckily in started to clear up around 2pm. I got combo ticket meaning you will go all the way up to the highest point. Getting ticket from machine was straight forward process. Ride on the elevator was experience on its own as you go up 36km/h. Mt Fuji wasn&rsquo;t fully visible as expected, but cloudy weather made the view much more interesting and dramatic. Worth seeing and spending not more then 30-45min overall.
