We've been going full speed since we got here. Since we got our best night's sleep last night, we decided to take it easy this morning and just hang out in the hotel.
This afternoon, we went to Asakusa. This part of town is best known for the Senso-ji Buddhist temple. The temple grounds are beautiful, with several buildings, gardens, and a large pagoda. We wandered through the area for a while. It was beautiful and peaceful.
The approach to the temple is full of small shops. We enjoyed the lively atmosphere. The guy below had a machine that automatically baked little cakes and wrapped them in little plastic bags as soon as they were cooked. We bought some for a snack. They were still warm from being baked and were delicious. There were also plenty of people making cakes by hand, cooking all types of food, and selling everything from shoes to souvenirs. Overall, an enjoyable afternoon.
