雷門, or "Thunder Gate," is the outer gate of the famous Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo. It is known for its large red lantern, which is a popular symbol of the temple and attracts many visitors. The gate is adorned with intricate carvings and statues, representing the rich history and culture of Japan. The structure was originally built in 941 AD and has undergone several reconstructions due to fires and wars. Today, 雷門 serves as a grand entrance to the temple complex, leading visitors to the bustling Nakamise Street, where they can find traditional snacks and souvenirs.
