The Asakusa Adventure Day…

Intentionally Getting Lost ..walking a few blocks in all directions - i want to  intentionally be  lost in the area- then after losing my way…unable to find a train or a bus…unable to explain to people where I want to Go….. I find a beautiful Pond with Colorful Fishes inside the pond ..wow ....
I love this kinda adventure ….

In a tremendously modern city—a rickshaw driver in the Asakusa Area ..

 
Asakusa is a beautiful and colorful area of Tokyo with a Buddhist Temple..- Sensoji
Sensoji  is the  one of the most colorful temple of Tokyo and perhaps  the oldest temple of Tokyo completed in the year 645 ..the temple was destroyed during the war and these are recent reconstructions..

An exit from A4 and A4 Exit inside the train -station has this small shrine ..
