A crisp morning at Kaminarimon sets the pace: incense smoke curls across a line of lanterns while the guide points out a centuries-old carving. You move through Nakamise Street—scented rice crackers, lacquered trinkets and the steady tap of tourists—into the wide courtyard of Senso-ji, where ritual and commerce meet in practiced rhythm.
