Senso-ji Temple, Asakusa... At night!

We had to get the subway to Asakusa, which is one stop down from our local subway, so we figured we would go down and explore Senso-ji temple complex tonight instead of during the day tomorrow afternoon, which will free Michael up to do some Shinjuku exploring for camera stuff and for me to have some chill time to myself.

Such a good idea. It was awesome at night! About a 90% reduction in tourists, moments where you can make it look like the whole complex is empty, and it's beautifully lit up. Not to mention all the gorgeous lanterns being lit up at night. Such a wonderful way to explore the complex!Read more
