We took a cruise on the Sumida River to Asakusa. Here there is a huge temple complex surrounded by streets lined with stalls and shops selling souvenirs, kimonos,wigs and other elements of traditional dress. There are also lots of traditional speciality shops selling pastries and snacks.
This was an area where there were more glimpses of the old Japan. We were really fortunate to see a Procession which included Geishas playing musical instruments while being carried by men also wearing traditional costume.
