After leaving the "Zhongjianshi" commercial street, I went to the treasure gate of Sensoji Temple two floors high. Why is it called the treasure gate? Because the second floor has a cultural property collection library, it is called: Treasure Gate!

Treasure Gate, the Zhengshan Gate of Sensoji Temple, is named after the cultural property on the 2nd floor. Crossing the famous Leimen, passing the bustling Zhongjian World, is the treasure gate. The red pillar green tile building, the style of the double rest on the top of the mountain, with the simplicity and elegance, the majestic shock the noisy flow of people; the green bottom gold-encrusted "Asakusa Temple" plaque in the middle of the door, indicating that the entrance is a quiet monastery; The back wall of the door hangs two unparalleled grass shoes, which are both the crystallization of the piety and faith of the worshippers, and also means that the attachment of Sensoji Temple to grass has crossed the treasure door, and people have officially opened the road to worship Buddha and pray for blessings and ask for signs. Tip: After entering the treasure door, a square 20 meters on the right can take a panoramic view of the treasure door + five-weight tower, which is one of the best seats for the scenery of Sensoji Temple.

This is the mountain gate of Zhongjianshi Commercial Street leading to Kiyomizu Temple. Its scale is even comparable to that of Kiyomizu Temple in the back. The red pillar beams, blue tile roofs, and two macaws are separated around the corner, and three large lanterns are hung in the middle, which is particularly majestic. Because there is a "Sensus Temple" plaque on the door, many tourists punch in and take pictures here. It is also interesting to see two oversized straw shoes hanging on both sides of the rear through the treasure door.

As soon as Leimen passed, along the street which was a small shop as a whole, he came to the gate of Shallow Cao Temple area. In fact, Shallow Cao Temple is still an open temple with no very large wall. The gate is more eye-catching and beside the pagoda has become the symbol of Shallow Grass Temple. At night, the yellow light on the red building adds an elegant and noble temperament.

Treasure Gate Azhao and the reinforced concrete buildings rebuilt in the past 39 years also suffered from the great air raids at the end of the Pacific War. In front of the door, many tourists took pictures of the tour, beside which was the Five Towers. A huge lantern was hung at the majestic gate, where it was necessary to go to Shallow Cao Temple.
