[“Hozuki Ichi (Chinese lantern plant market)” is one of Japan’s summer features which is held in Asakusa with an atmosphere of the Edo period!]
In Japan, it is said that you can have good luck for the rest of your life by visiting Senso-ji Temple to pray on July 9 (mon) or July 10 (tues), which is why Senso-ji Temple is crowded with many prayers and tourists on these 2 days.
On the grounds of the temple, many street stalls will sell pots of vivid orange “Hozuki (Chinese lantern plant)” in the shape of a lantern.
Wind chimes will also be sold until late at night in an atmosphere of a festive downtown.
Senso-ji Temple is a 5-minute walk from “Asakusa Station” on Tobu Skytree Line.
