Asakusa

The last day of the visit was spent at Asakusa. It's one of my favorite places in Tokyo. When you're there you really feel like you're in Japan. Most of the shops sell traditional goodies and wares. This was taken in front of Senso-ji Temple. I believe it's Tokyo's most famous temple.


Hozo-mon Gate





This giant incense burner is inside the temple complex.
People waft the smoke over themselves with the belief it will keep them healthy.
