Kaminarimon, also known as the "Thunder Gate," is a prominent historical landmark in Tokyo, Japan. It serves as the outer gate of Senso-ji Temple, the oldest and one of the most significant Buddhist temples in the city. The gate is renowned for its massive red lantern, which hangs dramatically at its center and is inscribed with the characters for "thunder gate." Flanking the gate are statues of the Shinto gods Fujin and Raijin, symbolizing wind and thunder, respectively.
