Asakusa, Tokyo
Asakusa became our second home for our nine (9) days stay in Tokyo. We were accommodated at Sakura Hostel which is only two (2) minutes walk away from the well-known Senso-ji Temple.

Senso-ji also known as Asakusa Kanon temple, is dedicated to bodhisattva. It is Tokyo's oldest and grandest temple, and one of most significant. There are lots of picturesque areas and opportunities. You can also get your fortune told. We arrived here in January 1, and to celebrate New Year in Japan is so festive, especially when visiting a temple.
Senso-ji temple is also near Nakamise Shopping Street where you can enjoy lots of Japanese street food and souvenir. Entrance to Senso-ji temple is free.
