Legend has it that in 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River. Despite returning the statue to the river, it always came back to them. As a result, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo’s oldest temple.

• Odaiba District - Odaiba (お台場) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. It originated as a series of small man-made fort islands (daiba means “fort”), constructed towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo from potential sea attacks, specifically in response to Commodore Perry’s gunboat diplomacy.

Over a century later, the small islands were merged into larger ones through massive landfills, and Tokyo embarked on a spectacular development project to transform the islands into a futuristic residential and business district during the extravagant 1980s. However, development slowed significantly after the “bubble economy” burst in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.
