Asakusa, Tokyo
This is the Sensoji
temple in Asakusa. I highly recommend it. On the outside of
the
gate is a market with souvenirs and food. It has quite a carnival
atmosphere.
The dancing midgets were a little much, though.
During festivals the
inside is open to the public. There is a large statue of a
Buddha
with some golden palm trees or plants or something. You can throw change
into
the big offering pit
over everyone's heads.
These two are in Asakusa, on the Sumida river.

These
photos were taken in July, 2000. That's Shibuya at nighttime, and Shinjuku
in the day.
The last is called the 'Super Big Building'. Really, I read it on a
postcard.
