Japan Day 3: Tokyo - Asakusa

Got off at Asakusa station to have a quick stroll in Asakusa area before heading back home to have dinner with my hosts. You just gotta love the public transport system in Japan. Almost all tourist spots are within a few hundred meters away from a train or subway. 



Series of shops leading to Asakusa


Nice scenic walkway, suggest you take this street versus the really crowded main street. Just take main street on your way back. 


Lots of shops selling different goodies



Minimalist yet beautiful architecture



Old world charm


As you walk down further you will see the hordes of tourists swarming the temples. Albeit, it was still peaceful. 


Such intricacies in design
