Last Friday - early in the evening, I had a nice walk in Asakusa. This is a very popular tourist spot in Tokyo, but I found it was unusually crowded.
Nakamise-dori Street leading to Sensoji Temple.
Side streets were not as bad. Dressed up ladies were going towards the temple.
Entrance to Nishi-sando (Western Approach to the Temple).
Inside the Nishi-sando shopping area - stores were closed already at 6:20 pm.
Little walkway towards the main temple building.
Looking towards the main gate from the side of the main temple building.
Many people were lined up to pray at Sensoji.
Looking at the Five-storey Pagoda from the east side of the temple.
A sign welcoming tourists to Taito Ward.
Looking at Tokyo Skytree from a little park by Azuma Bashi Bridge.
I had a very nice stroll.
