After a tiring day of touring Tokyo (starting early with Tsukiji) we took the Toei Asakusa line to Asakusa station. The Sensoji temple was easy to find and the tourist information center located nearby was very helpful. The shopping area around the temple provided a lot of diversion. We found a great Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant named Shagorika. The restaurant has great naan bread and chicken curry. The restaurant is at 1-12-10 Asakusa Taito-ku. Pictures of the dishes can be found at [---]. We eat a lot of Indian food and this place is great. My family of four ate a great meal for just under $40 and left absolutely stuffed.

Since my inn was just a 10 minute walk from the Sensoji Temple, it was my favorite place to start the day, or rest after a day of sight seeing. If possible, see the temple in the early morning. An amazingly peaceful place in the morning mist as the sun rises. No stalls full of venders, no loud crowds. Just the statues, the running water, the clink of coins as the occasional dark-suited businessman on a bicycle stops by to pray on his way to work. After an hour or so about 50 or 60 school children will come though on a field trip, all in their matching uniforms. Since there are so many schools in Tokyo, apparently you can expect a group about every day. Not that it is a bad thing. Personally I prefer their cuteness and excitement over the packed crowds during the afternoons and evenings. Oh ok, indulge the tourist in you and see all the stalls full of T-shirts, key chains, and folding fans. One midday walkthrough was enough for me. Night is another great time to visit, after the venders have closed shop. You will have it almost all to yourself again. Except if you happen across a model photo shoot like I did. The only time the crowds are enjoyable is during the huge Sanja Matsuri; a festival held every May. It is a must see if you are in Tokyo at that time. All of Asakusa is alive with chanting and drums as golden shrines are marched though the streets.

i typically don't like touristy places, but here is one i enjoyed (though i guess it helps that i was there with great company). yes, it is a temple in a public market. the temple is interesting, though i found the market to be especially fun because of all the snacks and little trinkets along the way. shown in the pics are some delicious treats we bought made fresh on the street. i guess if you're in a foreign place, you'll know to adventurous, so def do so! your tummy will thank you. as for trinkets, i got this neat astroboy keychain which if you pull back he zooms forward. when you make it to the temple, you'll find ppl wafting incense and smoke over themselves. good luck or something. hey, when in tokyo. anyways, i spent about half of a day here before making my way to the imperial palace by train. not sure i'd recommend doing that since i ended up walking quite a bit that day, but i was with someone who wouldnt let me not try to cram in as much of tokyo as possible! :)
