Tokyo, Asakusa

I visited Asakusa the other day to see a little bit of "old Japan" within modern Tokyo. The temple there is the main attraction with many tourists and pilgrims thronging its gates and grounds.

I remember visiting Asakusa about a year ago now.

I bet that 5 story pagoda must have brought back memories of Ajimu, right?
