Our morning tour of Tokyo includes a short visit to Asakusa Temple. Since it was January 1st, the place was so crowded. I got to pray at several shrines. One spot is where you would put smoke on your forehead and another spot is where you throw money, which I didn't bother to ask why.

Inside the temple's compound, there are lots of souvenir shops and food stalls. There you would see various Japanese street foods. We tried the Dango and Takoyaki.

While on our way out I saw this kid playing on the dirt. Funny, the parents didn't seem to care. I also saw a closer view of the Tokyo Sky Tree which is the new Tokyo Tower.
