A Japan Photo per Day

Senso-ji Temple Restored

Aug 22, 2010 | 36 feedbacks »

Since the last year, the Senso-ji Temple from Asakusa was covered in scaffolding for restoration works (the roof was completely changed and most of the decorations were restored).
This year, just a few days before I left Tokyo, the scaffolding tarpaulins were removed and I immediately went and took some photos (some structures are still visible on the right side):

@AustinOtaku I think I prefer it looking a little weathered ^_^ Now it seems too shiny...

@karlaxwp I know, I was lucky to catch a few days after they removed the scaffolding. Thank you! ^_^

@turkfontaine It looks very new now, like it was just built... But the building was made in '58, so in '71 it was fairly new, right?

@Tornadoes28 That night it was incredibly brightly lit! Don't know if it will always be like that or they were just verifying the lights...
