Visitors will be excited to experience the traditional shops on the Nakamise-dōri street leading up to the Kaminarimon, or "Thunder Gate," entrance. Two towering statues of Fūjin and Raijin, the gods of wind and thunder - as well as the iconic red-and-black paper lantern housed beneath the gate - are a must-see for first-time visitors.
