A new day start at Tokyo \('.')/. Today we will visit many beautiful places in Tokyo. We wake up in the morning and go to Asakusabashi Station to go to Sensoji Temple. It was easy to find from there because after exit the station, they're many signboard for information. After walking for 15 minutes, a outer gate is seen. This is Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate). Sensoji (浅草寺), Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple is a Buddhist temple, it is one of Tokyo's most colorful and popular temple. This free for admission.

Then enter the gate, you will see Nakamise shopping street where sold many Japan traditional food, kimono, souvernirs, and many more. Searching in some blogs, you will get cheap kimono in there and must eat famous fried momiji manju, senbei cracker, and dango here. We arrived in early morning, so many stalls still close. It will open around 08.30 am. So, we took some photos and visited the temple. Before, enter the temple, there are some traditions like wash your hand and mouth, throw coins, and pray in the front of temple. You can take a paper which is written your next good or bad future. If you get the good one just keep it and for bad one, you must hang in the rope. Many temples sold charms too, any charm!! For luck, happy, marriage, wealth, and health. The price is almost 800-1000 JYP.

Okay, time to have some breakfast. The food stall started to cook and the picture seemed delicious. All the snacks are very cute even I found a cracker drawn a panda. Unfortunately, the seller did not permitted taking picture by tourists T.T. First, I bought a manju filled red bean paste 100 JYP, then tried a dango with sweet sauce 120 JYP, a rice cracker 500 JYP/10 pieces [I don't like it], and the best is fried manju filled pumpkin paste 170 JYP. My friend bought yakisoba and crispy chicken too but I didn't tried it. Here are some pictures. Don't droll too much ;). - Continue to Day Three : A Beautiful Tokyo Ueno and Fujiko's Museum -
