The sky became even darker and the rains stronger after we left Tokyo Tower.
From Tokyo Tower, we were brought to Tokyo’s most famous Buddhist temple and also the oldest, the Asakusa Kannon Temple, also known as Senso-ji.
The bus dropped us off several blocks away under a rainy day so we were forced to buy umbrellas.
Oyen brought her own from Manila, Edmund bought two at the Tokyo Tower, and we bought one for Nyke.
When you buy an umbrella, open it first to check if it’s the right size for you. Not because they all have the same prices mean that they all have the same sizes. When Nyke opened his, it was so tiny. parang pang nursery so even if it already got wet, we returned it and got a bigger one, for the same price of 500 yen. (Only 300 yen two blocks away).
There were so many tourists when we came. Miko gave us a quick guideline on where to go because she is not walking with us. She also instructed us to be back in one hour.
Some tourists don’t want to walk in the rain.
Edmund is good in directions so I just followed him. Holding our umbrellas, we braved the cold and rain hopiing that this place better be worth all this trouble.

We were discussing what this is, I say it’s a pair of slippers
