This morning I walked for about 20 minutes from my hotel to Asakusa to visit the famous temple there. This is my second time there. Foldable roof is installed along the walk way into the temple. When I went there last time on 2007, there is no such roof and it was very hot to walk there. Now it is way better with the roof act as shade to tourist. Along the way into the temple, there are a lot of shops selling souvenirs and foods. It is a good place to buy souvenir. I got no time to edit all the pictures as I have to rest early for tomorrow plan. Here is some photos I managed to process. More will come soon.

Last Sunday I went to Sensoji Temple in Asakusa. It is a tourist spot where all tourist come to Tokyo sure will go to this temple. The temple is very big and there are a lot of shops along the road to the main temple where you can buy souvenirs and food. The temple is very beautiful and well maintained. There is a 5 storeys Pagoda beside the main shrine. Before you want to pray in the main shrine, you need to clean your hand and mouth first. There is a water fountain in front of the main shrine for you clean your hand and mouth.

To get to this temple, you just take the Tokyo Metro subway – Ginza Line and it will take you to Asakusa right in front of the temple entrance. Enjoy some photos I took there.
