Tokyo: Asakusa's Sensoji Temple

We stayed in an area in Tokyo called Asakusa and LOVED it. It was the old, traditional Tokyo, full of traditional architecture, shrines, shops, and restaurants. The most famous site in Asakusa is the Sensoji Buddhist Temple, Tokyo's oldest and most famous temple. It was only a few minutes away from our hostel, so we had many opportunities to check it out.
So many people around the temple.

Just a guy chillin' out at his temple food stand.
In the front of the temple was a big basin with steam coming off of the top.
Everyone was waving the steam into their face, so I did, too! When in Rome...





At night, the temple looked amazing!
