Close-in shot of Asakusa Shrine Illuminated at Night

---

Asakusa Shrine (浅草神社), also known as Sanja-sama ("Shrine of the Three gods"), is one of the most famous Shinto shrines in Tokyo, Japan. Located in Asakusa, the shrine honors the three men who founded the Sensō-ji. It is located on the east side of Senso-ji. The shrine is also one of the few rare buildings in the area to have survived the Tokyo air raids of 1945. Despite so, it is often often overlooked by visitors who will visit the better known and more visible Senso-ji. At night, like Senso-ji, the shrine is illuminated, giving tourist a different experience of the place.
