Asakusa

Asakusa is one of the oldest part of Tokyo, with traditional temples and lots of tourist stuff, especially around the Senso-ji temple shown  here.  Asakusa has also long been the entertainment district of Tokyo, though this has really shifted to the Shibuya and Shinjuku areas.

Here is me at the entrance - things tend to be a bit big here.

A few visitors taking in the incense before seeing the shrine.

The temple itself.

Looking back from the temple at the  main gate - yes, that's not a temple, but the entrance - pretty grand.

A sense of how crowded it is on this holiday Saturday, really a zoo.

A giant shoe or moccasin whose purpose eludes me
