The next day, the family had nothing to do, and the whole family had only one thing to do: play.

Play seriously.

Today they plan to visit Sensoji Temple, one of Tokyo's most frequented spots, and when the cherry blossoms bloom in April, it's crowded with mostly Chinese tourists.

The sudden influx of so many people provoked some people to think: Are all the Chinese coming to their country? With so many people coming, isn't their own country empty?

They have no idea about China's population, and they can't imagine what it would be like for a billion people, so they think they're all gone.

As everyone knows, there are even more Chinese tourists to other countries than that.

Zhou Heng has not been here for too many people now, mainly because he has just finished the New Year and avoided the New Year's tourist tide, and basically the domestic companies have started, and the people who came to play have already left, so it is a relatively idle time.

With fewer people, it will be convenient for them and will not be squeezed around.

Xiao Tian arranged for a car to take them there, and the life assistant who followed them to help would follow them for several days until they left, so even if five adults took care of a child, it could be arranged.

Some people help carry baby products, some help push strollers, and the rest take turns to hold the children, all of which are relatively relaxed and not too tired physically.

The main thing is that the pomegranate is also easier to bring at this time, after eating and drinking, there is a street to go around, and you can look around to see new things, you will not cry, and you are very happy.

Sensoji Temple is also one of the more famous temples in this book, and it is an ancient building - of course, like famous buildings in China such as the Yellow Crane Tower, it has been rebuilt, but it was built according to the ancient era.

It was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and is only a few hundred years old.

Although Zhou Heng is a mountain village, it is not so feudal and superstitious, and he does not have a very special feeling for the temple, that is, like everyone else, go to see a lively scene.

The assistant who helped them with the children, who spoke a little Chinese, also acted as a temporary tour guide, explaining to them that "Asakusa" means where Guanyin lives.

She also told an allusion.

The location of Sensoji Temple used to be a canal, people often came here to fish, one day a person fishing for a long time can not catch, before the rod is closed, I caught an object, found that it is a small Guanyin Bodhisattva, since then, this person has been smooth.

This person did not want to hide Guanyin, so he built a temple to worship and let everyone come here to pray for blessings, which is said to be very effective.

When Zhou Heng's parents heard this, they just smiled, feeling that these myths sounded similar to the legends they had there.

In fact, just looking at the architectural appearance of this temple, it is similar to some temples they have seen before, with red pillars and gray roofs, cornices and arches, and the cornices are not as good-looking as ours.

Looking at it, the more self-confidence comes to Gabon**.

In fact, this building is really an authentic Chinese style - this is the original Tang Dynasty flavor, and the Tang Dynasty was the style of high roofs and wide eaves at that time.

And after they inherited the past from Datang, they have always maintained it.

However, the ancient buildings that can be seen in China now have basically been built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so the style has changed greatly, so that many people think that ancient Chinese architecture is like this.

The term "ancient Chinese architecture" is actually a very general concept and cannot be generalized.

Although Sensoji Temple is a tourist attraction, there is no entrance fee, and you can't even see the walls.

The first gate of Sensoji Temple is called "Kaminarimon", and a huge red lantern hangs in front of the door, and the black word "Kaminarimon" on the lantern can be clearly seen from a distance, which really adds a lot of grandeur to Sensoji Temple.

At the entrance to the main entrance of the Kaminari Gate, there is a sculpture on the left and right, and the temporary guide tells them that it is the two generals of the wind god and the thunder god, guarding Sensoji Temple. They are gods that people worship to pray for good weather and good harvests.

Walking through the Kaminarimon Gate, there is a street inside, about 300 meters long, there are many shops on both sides of the approach, you can eat, drink and have fun.

The shop sells a lot of souvenirs, such as rami candy, doom-yaki, fried cakes, pancakes, meatballs, Edo toys, kimonos, yukata, tumblers, fans, and other souvenirs.

The grade is an ordinary product, and the price is not expensive.

This is simply a paradise for pomegranates, she doesn't blink when she looks at colorful things, and she refuses to let go of some toys suitable for children.

If she had been a little younger, she might not have appreciated the joy of shopping.

There is a more beautiful mask, Zhou Heng held it in front of his face, and then took it away, blocked it again, and then took it away, the little guy smiled extremely happily, it was simple.

However, there are some masks that are more terrifying, and I dare not show her for fear of scaring her.

Jiang Xiaoxuan took a fancy to a set of kimonos worn by children, and made a gesture on the little pomegranate, thinking that it was too cute, and she must buy her a set and dress her up.

Zhou Heng said: "What's so nice about this?"

"No, I say good looks are good looks. Let me tell you, I saw a little boy on the Internet, wearing a flying fish suit, cute, he just learned to walk, he looks so good!" Jiang Xiaoxuan said.

She insisted on buying a small kimono for Little Pomegranate, and gestured beautifully, planning to go back and wear it for her daughter.

Zhou Heng said: "It's okay to fly in a fish suit, you can buy her a set too." ”

Anyway, Pomegranate has very short hair now, and she is often asked if she is a boy or a girl.

Zhou Heng felt that she should look good in the flying fish suit, and she would feel very heroic.

Jiang Xiaoxuan was happy and said: "I also see others dressing children in the clothes of little monks, which are also very good-looking, and I also want to buy them." ”

Zhou Heng: "......"

Well, it's good if you're happy. Anyway, the child is small, and he can't be funny when he grows up.

They walked and watched all the way, and had a lot of fun.

One of them sells pineapple buns, Zhou Heng read the guide on the Internet, and some people said that the pineapple buns were very delicious, so he bought some to try.

It is a relatively large one, which is different from his usual pineapple bun appearance. According to the guide, that person ate pineapple buns for twenty-six years in vain, and this taste should only be in the sky.

Zhou Heng didn't believe in evil and bought one to taste.

One is so big that everyone can share some of it. If you buy one per person, you will be full, and you will not be able to taste the things that follow.

Zhou Heng tasted it, and it felt really good, but it didn't get to the point of exaggeration, saying that the pineapple buns that had been eaten in the past twenty-six years were too exaggerated.

After strolling around this shopping street, you will come to the main part of Sensoji Temple after passing through the second gate.

This is an open plaza centered on Kannondo, a Japanese garden, a lot-shaking place, a five-storied pagoda, a sitting-out area, and scattered Buddha statues and shrines.

Further inside, there is the main hall dedicated to the statue of Kannon, and there is a large Japanese incense burner in the middle.

There is a lottery here, and the price is 100 yen, and you can get a lot, and you can get a sign by pressing the number.

Zhou Heng generally doesn't draw lots in tourist places or anything like that.

If you get the lottery, everyone will be happy, if you draw a not very good lottery, you will feel uncomfortable, why should you have nothing to find yourself unhappy.

The temporary tour guide pointed to a special shelf by the door and said with a smile: "Those people who draw bad signs will tie them to it, and the monks in the temple will help him recite the scriptures to ward off disasters, so that he can be comforted." ”

Zhou Heng still smiled and didn't smoke.

They came to the inner hall of the Guanyin Hall with many tourists and believers, and watched for a while, but did not see the appearance of Guanyin, unlike some temples in his previous country, where there were various Buddha statues enshrined there.

The temporary tour guide explained: Sensoji Kannon is a "secret Buddha statue" that cannot be looked at by the eyes of the world, and this rule has been strictly adhered to to this day.

There are a lot of people in the main hall, incense is curling, Sensoji Temple is not allowed to light candles, for fear of burning this historic protected building, but you can burn incense, incense is bought in a bunch, each bouquet of 10, about 15 centimeters high, the price is 100 yen.

100 yen is not enough to buy a can of drink, so it can only be considered a symbolic payment.

Obviously, Sensoji Temple is not trying to make incense money for tourists, you don't need to buy tickets to enter the temple, and the money to buy incense is so cheap, whether you are poor or rich, the price of burning incense is the same.

Zhou Heng and the others followed the customs, and they also burned a little each.

Then, follow the flow of people to worship the gods here.

It seems that the people here are very religious, and before visiting the shrine, they should go to the sink to prepare for it, which means to cleanse the body and mind, and there are steps to wash your hands.

First of all, bow 45 degrees to the pool, then take the handle of the spoon in your right hand to scoop water and rinse your left hand, then change to the left hand to take the handle of the spoon to wash the water in your right hand, then use the handle of the spoon in your right hand to scoop the water, pour the water into the left hand, and use the palm of your hand to rinse your mouth (you can't drink water directly with a spoon).

Wash your left hand again, then stand up with the spoon and wash the handle with the water in the spoon, and finally put the spoon back in its place and bow 45 degrees to finish, and pay attention to the fact that when washing your hands, you can't immediately follow the pool, and the used water will flow directly to the ground......

In short, it is to see that others are very pious, and the people who operate are not too troublesome.

After Li Yunlian watched others do this, she did it most seriously and acted the most similarly.

When she worships the gods for a while, she is the only one with the most solemn expression, and there is no need to guess that she prays for a certain amount of family harmony, happiness, and well-being.

After coming out of the Guanyin Hall, I entered the small garden next to it, but it was too early to come, and there were no flowers in winter. However, walking through a Japanese garden with a small bridge and flowing water, you can see koi swaying in the clear water.

Walking all the way, enjoying the courtyard scenery, I still think it is good, there are not many people, it is very quiet.

It's just that I came too early, and I can only see some bare trees.

Next is a five-storied pagoda, which stands majestically in a more striking position. The five-storied pagoda of Sensoji Temple is the second tallest five-storied pagoda in Japan, and the fifth floor of the highest pagoda preserves the Buddhist relics given by Sri Lanka in that year.

After visiting some more shrines, they came out before they knew it.

This trip will not be too rushed, walk slowly, walk slowly, and meet snacks that you want to taste, and gadgets you want to buy, you will stop and buy them.

Then today's trip is over, I didn't rush to the next trip, let's talk about it tomorrow.
