Sensoji Temple Asakusa

in #travel6 years ago

Hi Steemit.

It's popular to visit a temple on a new year. This famous temple in Tokyo was very crowded with visitors. It's a must visit for tourists visiting Tokyo

There is a shopping street from the entrance all the way to the main temple building

Fortune telling. You pick 1 wooden stick and there is a number written on it, then you open the box with that same number and there is a paper which is your fortune for this year. If it is a bad fortune you can hang the paper as shown on that red hanger.

To boost your luck you can buy lucky charms. There are selections for health, car safety, business, relationship, etc.
