Walking through the big red-lanterned "Thunder Gate" (Kaminarimon), look beside you to see images of the Wind and Thunder gods staring down at you. You have just entered on to Nakamise Street where you will find large crowds of locals and out-of-towners alike browsing in the wide variety of stores and stalls leading up to Senso-Ji Temple. The rather large temple, devoted to the Kannon deity, is distinguished by the five-tiered pagoda on your left and Kannon Hall, where a small golden statue is located and revered by worshipers.
