Asakusa Temple, Golden Week 2012.
We took a trip to Yokohama and Tokyo for our last Golden Week vacation in Japan. While in Tokyo we visited the famous Asakusa Temple in the north eastern part of Tokyo City, just outside of Asakusa Station. It’s like a bigger version of Osu in Nagoya with lots of old buildings, traditional Japanese items and food. We had just eaten lunch beforehand, but had we known there was so much good food to choose from, we would have held off and eaten from the food stalls around the main shopping area leading up to the temple. If you do take a trip to Asakusa, bring cash as most of the shops are quite small and don’t accept credit cards (found that out the hard way).
Lego Nagoya Castle! We stumbled upon this cool display in Bic Camera, a popular electronics store with a location right next to Nagoya Station.
