The day with the most auspicious days for Kannon is July 10th, and it is said that visiting the temple on this day is equivalent to visiting it 46,000 times. For this reason, visiting the temple on this day has become popular since the Edo period.
On July 9th and 10th, the 46,000-day festival, the grounds of Senso-ji Temple are filled with 120 "hoozuki" (Chinese lantern plant) vendors and 100 other stalls, and the lively calls of vendors echo through the Asakusa night sky.
For two days only, on July 9th and 10th, Senso-ji Temple will be distributing triangular "lightning protection" amulets attached to bamboo skewers.
