Asakusa and the Senoji temple

Asakusa is a district in Tokyo that has reatined the "traditional Tokyo" feel to it. It used to be Tokyo's premier entertainment district. It was home to a rather large red light district, many geisha, and kabuki theatres.


After World War II, it was all destroyed and rebuilt, though the entertainment district never regained it's former popularity, Sensoji Temple, or Asakusa Kannon temple, still keeps tourists, like me a comin', probably because it's Tokyo's oldest temple and that's pretty darn nifty.
