Asakusa shrine, a shrine that I made a promise to myself that I will return to pay a visit, pray and donate to this shrine whenever I manage to visit Tokyo. Since the year 2007, I have been visiting this shrine at least once per year. My all time favourite spot to visit, I have decided to visit it during late evening for a beautiful night photography. It was cold in the January winter, however the it paid off the effort. Well that's my first travel of year 2014 after all.

| Kaminari-mon aka the thunder gate aka the main entrance of Asakusa Shrine. This spot is one of the most popular spot as local and foreign visitors and tourists will halt for a photo in front of the huge lantern |

| The lively and crowded Nakamise-dori aka the shopping street that leads toward the Asakusa Shrine was empty and deserted at night. Such a a different atmosphere. |
