A Window Into Temples In Japan | Sensō-ji Temple
The oldest temple in Tokyo’s history, Senso-Ji, dates back to 628 and is said to be founded after two fishermen pulled a statue of Bodhisattva Kannon, the goddess of mercy, from the Sumida river. The piece of art not being theirs to claim, they put it back where they found it, but the goddess would not to be denied and continued to return.

Japan Travel Vlog Day 8 :
Our initial plan was to take the train to Hakone on the 24th. But due to the bad weather, we postponed all our plans to the next day.
We had an adventurous day trip in Hakone. This place is known for its various transportations which link far apart attractions together. We stayed in a traditional ryokan during our time there, and experienced the Japanese onsen hot spring ... yes in the summer ^^''

Food in Asakusa, Tokyo
Video #23 of 34 of our 2011 trip to Japan. Asakusa is home to the Sensoji Buddhist Temple but it's also popular because of the huge bazaar of shops and food in front of the temple. Here's some of the food we had. Check my blog, nikkeiview.com
Exploring Tokyo, Japan
From the Kawaii Monster Cafe in Harajuku, to the Sensoji temple in Asakusa, to swan boats at Inokoshira Park, street food at Tsukiji Market in Ginza, a Cat Cafe in Akihabara, picnicking under cherry blossoms (hanami), and the Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku -- we saw it all! Tokyo has so much to offer, even for families ( I went with my husband and toddler daughter). We went just as the cherry blossoms (sakura) bloomed, which meant it was jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but also peak tourist season. The subways were a crazy busy, jam-packed experience. I look forward to going back again, but until then... I will be missing their ubiquitous vending machines -- specifically the ones that sell hot cafe au laits! I was in LOVE with those and got one on almost every street corner!
Edit: Whoops, the video says Spring 2017, but we went in 2018!
Kusatsu Hot Spring 草津温泉
Kusatsu Onsen, Kusatsu Hot Springs, has been recognized as the best of the best Japanese Onsen for hundreds of years: Why? Because of the quality and quantity of the various kinds of spring waters here, its beautiful atmosphere, and finally…because there are a lot of very nice hotels!

Japan Trip 2013 Tokyo Asakusa Nakamise-dori Crossroads Shop-street 37
Sensō-ji Temple grounds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sensō-ji is the focus of Tokyo's largest and most popular matsuri (Shinto festival), Sanja Matsuri. This takes place over 3--4 days in late spring, and sees the surrounding streets closed to traffic from dawn until late evening.
Dominating the entrance to the temple is the Kaminarimon or Thunder Gate. This imposing Buddhist structure features a massive paper lantern dramatically painted in vivid red-and-black tones to suggest thunderclouds and lightning. Beyond the Kaminarimon is Nakamise-dori with its shops, followed by the Hōzōmon or Treasure House Gate which provides the entrance to the inner complex. Within the precincts stand a stately five-story pagoda and the main hall, devoted to Kannon Bosatsu.[6]
Many tourists, both Japanese and from abroad, visit Sensō-ji every year. Catering to the visiting crowds, the surrounding area has many traditional shops and eating places that feature traditional dishes (hand-made noodles, sushi, tempura, etc.). Nakamise-Dori, the street leading from the Thunder Gate to the temple itself, is lined with small shops selling souvenirs ranging from fans, ukiyo-e (woodblock prints), kimono and other robes, Buddhist scrolls, traditional sweets, to Godzilla toys, t-shirts, and cell-phone straps. These shops themselves are part of a living tradition of selling to pilgrims who walked to Sensō-ji.
Within the temple itself, and also at many places on its approach, there are omikuji stalls. For a suggested donation of 100 yen, visitors may consult the oracle and divine answers to their questions. Querents shake labelled sticks from enclosed metal containers and read the corresponding answers they retrieve from one of 100 possible drawers.
Within the temple is a quiet contemplative garden kept in the distinctive Japanese style.
Asakusa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asakusa (浅草) is a district in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan, most famous for the Sensō-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon. There are several other temples in Asakusa, as well as various festivals.
History
For most of the twentieth century, Asakusa was the major entertainment district in Tokyo. The rokku or Sixth District was in particular famous as a theater district, featuring famous cinemas such as the Denkikan. The golden years of Asakusa are vividly portrayed in Yasunari Kawabata's novel The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa (1930; English translation, 2005). The area was heavily damaged by US bombing raids during World War II, particularly the March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo. The area was rebuilt after the war, but has now been surpassed by Shinjuku and other colorful areas in the city, in its role as a pleasure district.
Geography
Asakusa is on the north-east fringe of central Tokyo, at the eastern end of the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line subway, approximately one mile east of the major Ueno railway/subway interchange. It is central to the area colloquially referred to as Shitamachi, which literally means low city, referring to the low elevation of this old part of Tokyo, on the banks of the Sumida River. As the name suggests, the area has a more traditionally Japanese atmosphere than some other neighborhoods in Tokyo do.
Sightseeing and historic sites
With so many religious establishments, there are frequent matsuri (Shinto festivals) in Asakusa, as each temple or shrine hosts at least one matsuri a year, if not every season. The largest and most popular is the Sanja Matsuri in May, when roads are closed from dawn until late in the evening.
In a city where there are very few buildings older than 50 years because of the wartime bombing, Asakusa has a greater concentration of buildings from the 1950s and 1960s than most other areas in Tokyo do. There are traditional ryokan (guest-houses), homes, and small-scale apartment buildings throughout the district.
In keeping with a peculiarly Tokyo tradition, Asakusa hosts a major cluster of domestic kitchenware stores on Kappabashi-dori, which is visited by many Tokyoites for essential supplies.
Next to the Sensō-ji temple grounds is a small amusement park called Hanayashiki, which claims to be the oldest amusement park in Japan. The neighborhood theaters specialize in showing classic Japanese films, as many of the tourists are elderly Japanese.
Cruises down the Sumida River depart from a wharf only a five minute walk from the temple.
Asakusa is Tokyo's oldest geisha district, and still has 45 actively working geisha.
Because of its colourful location, downtown credentials, and relaxed atmosphere by Tokyo standards, Asakusa is a popular accommodation choice for budget travelers.

Japan Trip 2013 Tokyo Asakusa Kaminarimon Pulled rickshaw Jinrikisha 27
Pulled rickshaw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pulled rickshaw (or ricksha) is a mode of human-powered transport by which a runner draws a two-wheeled cart which seats one or two persons.
In recent times the use of human-powered rickshaws has been discouraged or outlawed in many countries due to concern for the welfare of rickshaw workers. Pulled rickshaws have been replaced mainly by cycle rickshaw and auto rickshaws.
