Senso-Ji was a striking structure set on pretty premises.
Inside the main temple, there was a "fortune table" (I can't think of a better term) which involved shaking a jar with numbered wooden sticks until one fell out. One would then look for a drawer with a number matching the one on the wooden stick and take out a paper with a fortune from the drawer. We drew a not-so-good fortune which told us to not start new employment or go on a trip. We should have heeded it; just prior to this trip, we decided to relocate from Honolulu to Washington DC for a job Jeff could not say no to. Unfortunately, that job fell apart (it never really took off even), I had trouble finding work there, and our relationship with our foster son went downhill. We ended up returning to Hawaii after two years. We should have listened to what providence was trying to tell us!
Apart from the temple, we also explored the shops around the temple. We ate at a tempura restaurant in the vicinity, thinking that they could adapt a vegetarian tempura set for Jeff. Unfortunately, the staff there refused.
