Another temple ill-fatedly destroyed during the World War II bombings but later restored and rebuilt. It's an ancient Buddhist temple easily recognized by it's giant lantern by the entrance gates. The walk to the temple was preceeded by a large market place area with many exciting tourist and souvenir shops. Asakusa actually has several shrines and temples in the surrounding area but unfortunately I didn't have time to visit them all. There was also a sketchy looking amusement park and a lot of outdoor restaurants that looked amazing. Definitely going to have to come back and visit here when I need something to do. But perhaps the most important spot to visit is the Asahi brewery which is located across the river from Asakusa station. Oh well, next time!
