The official name of Sensoji Temple comes from the Golden Dragon Mountain, and it is called "Golden Dragon Mountain Sensoji Temple", and the name "Golden Dragon Dance" comes from the name of this mountain. "Golden Dragon Dance" is a dance that started in 1958 to commemorate the reconstruction of the main hall of Sensoji Temple, Kannon Hall. This dance is based on the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in Sensoji Temple. According to legend, she appeared as a golden dragon that descended from the sky, and overnight she created a thousand pine trees that symbolize a good harvest. 
The 18-meter-long, 88-kilogram shining golden dragon dances gorgeously to the music of the celebration, and this scene is absolutely impressive.

We took the high-speed elevator up to the 350-meter-high observation deck and the 450-meter sky view corridor. The surrounding area is 360 degrees with large glass up to 5m. Standing there, looking at the distance from the bottom of the tower to 70 km, the clarity was amazing. The high-rise buildings in Tokyo City, the blocks, the ships in Putian River and the bridges in the river are clearly visible. In the corridors of the tubular glass structure, we taste the feeling of walking in the air. One of the floors was full glass, and I squatted there looking down at the ground without fear of heights at all.

There is an exhibition of Osamu Tezuka, Fire Bird. The place is not big, the scenery is OK, buy 100 yuan on site, only 70 yuan online, the cost performance is very high, not many people, it is worth a visit, friends who like quiet can go and have a look.

Apparently there won&#39;t be a dolphin show after the renovation, so I went to see it for my kids before then.The stage is small, so the distance is very close, and it&#39;s very impressive.The inside of the building is small and seems to be suitable for toddlers to elementary school students.

Actually, there is a WING building opposite the Takanawa exit of JR Shinagawa Station. Just walk straight inside from the building and the outdoor escalator. The adult ticket on site is 2,500 yen/ticket. The price on Ctrip is still slightly cheaper. It is effective immediately after buying on site. Just scan a code for one order. After entering, there is an indoor pirate ship on the right hand side (500 yen/time, and then follow the route in the museum. There is also a paid carousel on the left hand side). The route is planned. You can&#39;t go back halfway because the escalator is not open. The dolphin show is quite interesting, mainly divided into the main and supporting roles, and there are lights and other blessings. The gift hall at the end is also very cute. Overall, it is still worth a visit.
