Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo's most colorful and popular temples. The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them.

On raconte que Golden Gai a vu le jour vers 1950, lorsque le marché noir installé devant la gare de Shinjuku a déménagé. Dans ce nouveau quartier, de nombreux établissements de restauration et de boissons se sont installés. Bien que Shinjuku ait connu une modernisation considérable depuis, Golden Gai semble être resté globalement inchangé. La ruelle est étroite et exiguë, bordée d'innombrables enseignes annonçant les différents établissements. Nombre des bâtiments sont en bois, vestiges de l'ère Showa. La plupart ne mesurent qu'environ treize mètres carrés (cent quarante-deux pieds carrés). C'est un lieu sombre et animé, imprégné de la fumée aromatique des grillades. Pourtant, malgré le nombre quasi infini de nouveaux restaurants élégants à Shinjuku, cette petite ruelle continue d'attirer l'attention des touristes étrangers. Golden Gai est un lieu touristique populaire et peu touristique.
