The day with the most merits for Kannon is July 10th, and it is said that if you visit the temple on this day, it is equivalent to 46,000 days of merit, so pilgrimages on this day have become popular since the Edo period.
On the 46,000-day festival of July 9th and 10th, the grounds of Sensoji Temple are filled with 120 ground cherries and 100 other stalls, and the lively sounds of vendors echo through the Asakusa night sky all night long.
For just two days, on July 9th and 10th, Sensoji Temple will be issuing triangular talismans for protection against lightning, attached to bamboo skewers.
