Kinryuzan Sensoji Temple is one of Japan's most important cultural properties and attracts people from all over the world. Some people choose to take a rickshaw ride around Asakusa in Japanese style, while others choose to take photos in front of the Kaminarimon Gate to commemorate the occasion. From different angles, it is found that the shopping street is crowded with tourists, and more people gather near the incense burner of Sensoji Temple, and worshippers believe that smoke has great energy, and as long as the smoke covers the body, the gods will protect these people, making them healthy and wiser. This shows that people still like Japanese culture even though they have different beliefs.
