In the morning, we decide to start our visit from far distance place to near at hotel. So we decided to visit Asakusa. It was very blue sky and no cloud at all.
Asakusa is a district in Taito and most famous for the Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon.
Right before to enter the gate, there are many shops on both side of the street. Many of them are food or souvenir shops.
Specially fried or baked Octopus called Takoyaki. Takoyaki is a popular Japanese dumpling made of butter, octopus, tempura, pickled ginger and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce and so on. It was enought to feed for lunch. But we decided to eat after we saw temple. There were no places to sit and eat food so we moved near park (left side from the font gate).
Inside of temple, there is big tower and big one straw sandal. Quite interesting... but we have no idea why they made and put over there.
Before enter the temple, people tried to wash out using incense in the midle.
In the temple, no difference compare any other temples. Monks chanted as an group. Many people tried to close to see them but there was a partition between them.
After you saw Temple, if you move left from the gate, we can find small village park and restaurant. And you could have chace to see Rickshaw on that street. It seemed like we were back to that period of time and restaurant as well. I think that this restaurant open 10:30AM. It was closed when we were there and later when we came back, we saw the owner of restaurant was preparing (actually he put a menu bar in front of his restaurant).
