Hozuki and Japanese wind chime




I took these photos at Senso-ji temple last Sunday.
It was a day of an annual event of the temple called "Shimanrokusen-nichi".
(Please check my previous post from here )
During the event, hozuki(Chinese lantern plant) fair is held at the temple.

It was very hot when I visited there, but sounds of those wind chimes cooled me.

Senso-ji Temple on July 10




You can see so many people in these photos.
"Shimanrokusen-nichi Festival" is an annual event of the temple.
"Shimanrokusen-nichi" literally means 46000 days.
They say that one visit and worship to the temple on the festival has value same as 46000 visits on ordinary days.
This festival is held on every July 9 and 10.

Rooftop Garden in Kanda Myojin  




This garden is above a parking of the Kanda Myojin (Kanda shrine).
It is small, but we can enjoy viewing flowers in every season.
This garden was created last year as a greening project of the shrine.
