Asakusa

I still have a lot of tourist places to see in Tokyo, and Asakusa is definitely not one to miss.

Asakusa was wonderful! i went there on sunday and here are a bunch of pictures. the funny thing about asakusa is that you feel like you're in this weird traditional part of tokyo, but you're completely surrounded by the city. it was fun!!! and like any other heavily induced tourist spot, there were some faux-celebrities (i.e. the green man getting his picture taken, the kimono girls). maybe asakusa is like the Hollywood Walk of Fame? anyway, it was fun and there was both a shrine and a temple, which i love.

the shrine is Sensou-ji.

note: do NOT clap at a shrine (goddammit, pamela. learn the difference between shinto and buddhism!)
