Today I had to go to school to take a medical checkup. So my friend and me made a promise to meet at 9:00am. But I was awakened by a friend's call "Why are you not here?" It happened at 9:00am. lol x)
I could take the checkup afternoon, but I wanted to go to Asakusa as soon as I can. So I went to school in a hurry, and took it during the morning.
Asakusa is a part of Tokyo. There are many traditional Japanese shops and an old temple in Asakusa. The name of the temple is Senso-ji. It was built in 628.
Near the Assakusa station, Tokyo Sky Tree is standing. It's really high!!! The height of it will be 634m next year. I can't still believe such a high building will be built in Japan where so many earthquakes occur. I'm also impressed by the Japanese seismic technology.
In Asakusa, I could see many Japanese traditional goods. When I visited to Asakusa last time, I was 12 or 13 years old. I was too young to understand Japanese traditional culture from them. Today I could know about Japanese traditional culture from foods, structures and scenery. So I'm glad that I could visit there today.
I took many pictures today, and put them here. So I think I don't need to write so much. Ah, but there is one thing which I want to write down here. I bought a furoshiki today. Furoshiki is Japanese traditional wrapping cloth. It's like a big handkerchief. People make various shape bags bags with tying it. You can call it "instant bag" ;) I made a bag with using furoshiki and rings. I put its picture too.
I have more pictures which I want to show you. haha x)
By the way, I'm not good at taking pictures. I have to study how to take good pictures x)
Thank you for reading. See you again :]
