ヲタリンクの構築とマスコットキャラクターの開発で、忙しかったので、初詣の記事が大幅に遅れてお届けします^^;
去年は明治神宮なので、今年は浅草寺に行ってみることに。
行ったのは3日の7時ぐらい。列に入ったら待つ時間はたいしたことがなく、20分ぐらいだった。

雷門。英語に訳すと、Thunder Door!と迫力がある^^;
正月には、日本の方は神社に行く。一方、外人さんの殆どは家から出ません。
甘酒をおいしそうに飲んでいる人たちがいた。僕は喘息なので、飲むと息苦しくなるので飲まない。
やろうとおもえば、すぐにウルトラマンやプリキュアのコスプレが出来る。
おっぱいプリン。食べたことがないが、どんな味がするのだろう？もしかしたら。。。^^;
昔のフィギュアはこんな感じだったのですね？今のフィギュアの方がいい^^;
小道の店のほとんどは閉まっていた。
去年の明治神宮と比べたら、人は少なかったような。
それでも、人が多かった^^;
参拝終了後、なにかが食べたいと思ったら、ホットドッグを買った。まずかった。大失敗。
故郷のロンドンと比べると、日本って穏やかな国だな〜と帰る途中に思った。イギリスには、こんなに人が集まると、トラブルが絶対起こってしまうのは残念だ。
Great post Danny. these shrines in japan are impressive i'd like to visit one someday, i find it great that you post photos about japanese culture amd not only otaku stuff. !Keep up the good work!

High School Graduate... Now what?
lol, 2.5 million volts? That'd be truly the gateway to heaven (or hell). I've seen pictures of the shrine, and never expected to see a galleria in there. And I thought shrines would be calming at this time...

Don't want to be nit-picky but those are photos of Sensoji which is a temple and not a shrine. Asakusa Shrine is beside Sensoji I believe.

This really shows how peaceful Japan can really be; it makes me want to go there badly.

seeing your post reminded me about something. A little bit more than a year ago, I went to Asakusa and tried out one of those fortune telling sticks that one would have to shake out of a metal can. It said that I was going to get married soon. ^^ It was probably just a coincidence, but it's definitely one of the places I have to go back to the next time I visit Japan. ^^

Nice Post! Mmmmm...Lovely Eyes' Puddings... Hey Danny, I am planning a trip to Japan in the summer, any suggestion where to visit? Meanwhile, I will drool over more of these pictures...

Japan's festivals are so much more beautiful than the ones in L.A. It actually looks like the people there are enjoying it, not just doing it for show. =) I love Japan's traditions!

Why can't US festivals looks like this? We always have the overated nightclub stuff.. we have conventions but they're already japanese is nature.

Awww! Takoyaki! I had them once when i was there, and i want moooore! They were suprisingly delicious. Nice pics - good to see some of the more traditional stuff. Its bloody packed! Somewhere around the Asakusa cinema district, there is a giant ultraman figure outside by an arcade. Couldnt find it last time i went. Shame!

Been here too. 2007 will be awesome and will be owned by Nintendo's Wii. I've never went to the shrine during night tho. Looks pretty at night too.

Hi Danny, nice site! Just wanted to let you know that the pic you have posted are not "Asakusa Shrine" . It's true name is Sensoji (also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple). Keep up the good work!

WAAAAY too many people for me! I'd freak out cause I hate crowds. Won't even go to bars anymore because of crowds. Is that freaky?

Go５五, Roy, Thanks for the correction. Though I chose the name of this title for those folks who would search for "asakusa shrine" - many wont know its called Sensouji - including me! Sbebiwan, How did the pudding taste?^^ AndyH, Heard about that ultraman - never seen it though. Char, When are you coming?

Asakusa is a great area for a lot of genuine Japanese experiences.
