I suspect Hotel La Passion is a love hotel |
As our hostel was based in Asakusa, naturally the first pit stop was Sensoji. I wrote how I actually visited Ghibli Museum three out of my four trips to Japan. I somehow ended up in Senso-ji every time I was in Japan, yes, including that time when I went to Hokkaido. I brought my mom to Senso-ji in the short stint in Tokyo before flying out of Haneda Airport.
So back to the photo above on a little shrine. Our hostel was just a stone throw away from the shrine, I was wandering around the block while waiting for the rest to get ready.
This is not part of the shrine.. I was walking around the block... |
Hand model: Little P |
By the time we reached Sensoji, it was already swarmed with people.
I stepped out of Nakamise-dori and took a photo of him and lost sight of Little P in the sea of human. Ru wrote a nice post about this scoundrel and the other four.
There seem to be some festival of some sort at that time, probably because it was Culture Day public holidays. So I missed my chance of visiting Tsukiji Fish Market which was closed on public holidays.
I drew an omikuji for general things. It was a good one so I carried it with me. I found Little P again right after this as she was at the opposite side getting a couple of omamori.
Why didn't I check my camera after I took this shot *palm face* |
Side note: Why is flight tickets between PER-MEL so expensive.. blah...
