Asakusa

Asakusa Tour Report: November 6, 2016

The three of us first climbed to the top of the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center, where we were able to have a good view of the entire area. We then went on to see the Senso-ji temple and the Asakusa shrine. What I find interesting is how this temple and shrine, two facilities of different religions, can coexist in the...
