Asakusa Dori Street

Asakusa-dori Street is one of the wide streets of Japan, which is located in Tokyo, namely in the west near the Sosedi Temple through the “Gate of Thunder”.

In this place you can find hundreds of shops that qualify for the sale of religious items of Buddhism. Among the many items you can see:

• Buddha images, which can be made of different materials (wood, jade, bronze);
• Smoking pots;
• Incense;
• bowls;
• candlesticks;
• mixes of different aromatic tree species and much more.

But the main and main subject of their sale is considered a Buddhist altar, which looks like a low wooden cabinet with one section. This altar is called butsudan and it serves to preserve religious things, which are often real works of art.

Due to the presence of such a variety of sales items, Asakusa Dori Street always has the smell of fragrant wood. Since the funeral in Japan is carried out according to Buddhist traditions and rituals, the relatives of the deceased person always come to this street for accessories for the ceremony.

Getting to this place will not be difficult for everyone, since Asakusa Dori Street is located in the northeastern section of central Tokyo, near the end of the Ginza Line metro line.
