This nighttime image captures the illuminated grounds of Sensō-ji Temple in Taito City, Tokyo, Japan. A large central structure composed of multiple rows of rectangular white paper lanterns stacked on metal scaffolding stands prominently in the middle ground. Smaller, rectangular lanterns on individual poles illuminate pathways extending from this main display. Two indistinct individuals are visible within the central lantern display area, standing on either side of the structure. The ground consists of packed earth, with a lighter-colored paved pathway leading from the foreground into the temple area. Large trees frame the scene: a dense evergreen tree occupies the left side, and a deciduous tree with sparser foliage is on the right. In the background, modern multi-story buildings with illuminated windows are visible, along with glimpses of traditional temple architecture, including a red structure to the right. The immediate foreground features an asphalt road bordered by stone railings that mark the temple entrance. A wooden A-frame sign on the left side of the road displays Japanese text reading "車両乗入許可証を提示して下さい 浅草寺" (Vehicle entry permit required. Sensō-ji Temple). On the right side of the road, a yellow and black barrier sign indicates "駐車・駐輪禁止" (No Parking / No Bicycles).
