1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #215

- Asakusa Temple, Tokyo

 

(This oldest of temples in Tokyo is situated along busy streets in the heart of Tokyo, giving it the feel of a peaceful sanctuary. Giving a bronze Buddha statue near the temple a head-shoulder-knee-ankle rub will mean a life of wellness on the corresponding parts of your own body - my knees and ankles received immediate rubs. Shops selling all sorts of memorabilia align 2 side streets, with those selling sweet potatoes cakes the hottest sellers)
