We went to Asakusa yesterday, an area of Tokyo that is home to the Senso-ji Temple, one of Tokyo's most popular sights. It is a community temple and in addition to all the tourists visiting it, hundreds of Japanese people were coming and going, purifying themselves in the water trough outside the temple, making offerings of incense and praying. Next to the temple is the Five-Storeyed Pagoda, the second tallest in Japan.
