Can I buy Sensoji Temple omamori online from outside Japan?
Sensoji's own online shop ships within Japan only, so there is no way to have its charms sent to a US address directly from the temple.
Tokyo Omamori Post is an independent shop, not the official store of Sensoji Temple or any temple or shrine. We obtain Sensoji Temple charms in person at the temple in Japan, then send them to US addresses ourselves, with US import duties included in the price. Standard shipping is $8 (free on 3+ charms), and express EMS shipping is $25 — see shipping & duties for details.
According to temple tradition, two fishermen brothers found a small statue of Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion, in their net on the Sumida River in 628. Sensoji was built to enshrine it, and the area of Asakusa grew up around the temple.
Visitors enter through the Kaminarimon, where a red paper lantern nearly 4 meters tall hangs between statues of the gods of wind and thunder. Beyond it, Nakamise street — lined with shops selling sweets and crafts — leads to the main hall.
A golden dragon is said to have descended from the sky when the temple was founded, which is why dragons appear on many of its charms.
