Legend has it that in 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River. Despite returning the statue to the river, it always came back to them. As a result, Sensoji was constructed nearby for the goddess Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo’s oldest temple.
