Asakusa ~ Sensoji Temple

Johanna, Becki, and me at the entrance of the temple.

In front of the temple.
Incense burning.
The corridor of shops that leads to the actual temple where people worship.

Our third stop was the Sensoji Temple...one of the most popular to visit in Japan. The Asakusa area is old downtown Tokyo. The area was once leveled by earthquakes, bombs, and fires but is now rebuilt to resemble what it once looked like in the seventh century! It was full of people, shops, and good food.
