Fun introduction to Asakusa

Published on Oct, 2024

Fun morning with Kay walking around Asakusa Temple and market area. Kay was very patient with all my questions. Having Kay explain the culture and point out points of interest made the exploring so much more fun. The Rickshaw ride was a fun experience. Just the right amount of time.

The temple and rickshaw were cool
