asakusa & skytree

First coffee drink from the vending machine. Hydrangeas were dotting the streets in Asakusa, Tokyo.

Visiting Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo where people were seen praying, lighting candles and jossticks. 

One interesting thing is people can draw fortune. The mikuji is drawn by shaking a metal box lightly until a stick with a number comes out. Then the fortune paper is taken from the drawer mark with that number. The mikuji is tied at the frame provided as the sign of tying the bad fortune.

Tokyo Skytree has two observation decks. The second deck requires another fee. We were at the first deck, 350 metres. Too bad that we were willing to spend more for the higher deck but alas, time and ride waits for no girls. Amazing night view but it was a cloudy day.
