Asakusa jinja or temple in English is a famous temple in Tokyo. Situated at Asakusa, Taito, Tokyo, it's the Tokyo's oldest temple. It's a temple dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy after a Buddhist scripture were found in a river nearby. It's always nice to visit a place twice..and I'm happy to be there so far for 2 consecutive winter thanx to the IPoS network for their financial support. Honto ni kanshashimasu!
