The Kaminarimon Gate (Thunder Gate) is the outer of two large entrance gates that ultimately lead to Sensō-ji temple in Asakusa. The Kaminarimon was first built in 941 AD but was reconstructed in its current location in 1635. It burnt down and was rebuilt several times over the centuries, with the current structure dating to 1960.
