Snapshot Sunday: Asakusa, Tokyo

This week’s Snapshot Sunday comes from Tokyo, Japan. On my last morning in Tokyo I went to check out one last neighborhood before my flight. The Asakusa neighborhood is home to two important religious buildings, Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple, and Asakusa Shrine, a Shinto shrine. The shrine and temple share the same grounds, an example how religions coexist peacefully in Japan. I arrived to Asakusa early and enjoyed roaming around with only a few others, taking in the beauty while incense burned.
