Asakusa

[Part 2: July 25, 09]
After Harajuku, we took train to Asakusa. From this website, it showed that there was a firework at Asakusa. That is why we visited Asakusa this time... 2 years ago, I have been Asakusa before. This time I will be little tour guide for them... in that area only... hehehe...

Kaminarimon (Kaminari Gate)
This is the main entrance to Sensoji Temple. You can recognize this gate by its big red lantern at the entrance.


Nakamise Shopping Street
This is kind of souvenirs street. This street leads to the main grounds of Sensoji temple.









Sensoji Temple
It is one of famous temple in Tokyo.




Dempoin Dori
This is the oldest street which has a lot of tranditional shops in there.



We had our early dinner here. We stopped at this shop for for dinner. We ordered soba and it is not as delicious as what i think. Anyway I won't try Soba anymore. Hehehe...







After that we headed to Sumida river for firework show. There were a lot of peoples there and we could not get a better spot for ourselves. We only managed to watch from far. It is good too, so that we can escape faster once the firework ends. =P
