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.

Got lucky in booking a night slot just a few days before intended date of visit. Nice to experience a great view of Tokyo.

Tokyo Disneyland is dreamy and exciting, suitable for parent-child travel, parades and fireworks shows are super atmosphere, the park facilities are perfect, the staff is enthusiastic, it is recommended to make an appointment for a fast pass in advance, the queue time for popular projects is long, the overall experience is very worthwhile, and you can play all day without feeling tired.

It is worth going, that is, pay attention to grabbing the reservation card. In addition to the project, such as Duffy and his friends&#39; 20th anniversary store also need to grab the reservation card to enter ～ You can&#39;t enter without the reservation card.

Full score! ! ! Full score! ! Very satisfied as a fan! Although there are no entertainment projects, many places are very ok! The dessert in the restaurant is very, very delicious ... It feels better than the dessert shop outside ... is not expensive! Will come again!

It&#39;s beautiful! Although the main effect is a bird&#39;s eye view, you can see many landmark buildings (such as Sensoji Temple) from different directions according to the instructions on the tower! It may be easier to recognize landmark buildings during the day, but you can see more beautiful city scenery at night. I recommend going at night~
