Asakusa :)

So the Bunkyo Gakuin students gave us a tour to Meiji Jingu Shrine and Asakusa Shrine. Asakusa had a lot of tourists. It was packed! Yet overall it was a very fun trip. What's so cool was that I got to see a 3 weddings take place! The coordinators said we were really lucky. I also got to see a live performance by one little cute monkey at Asakusa! > <  Check out below for pictures and vid!
My lovely tour guide Reiko! <3

Wedding pictures!


It was a  "Seven-Five-Three traditional rite of passage and festival day in Japan for three- and seven-year-old girls and three- and five-year-old boys, held annually on November 15 to celebrate the growth and well-being of young children. As it is not a national holiday, it is generally observed on the nearest weekend." -That's derectly quoted from Wiki. ^ ^ It explained well. So we saw a lot of cute little girls and boys. Except the boys is just for 5 year olds.
This little girl was just too cute. > <


This was how crowded it was. 0.0

My Bento! It was cold though.... :( However, the udon was good .

Haha, this is the Big Lantern at Asakusa! Which is where Backstreet Boys were shooting
for their Bigger mv. ;) Pretty neat eh? Check out their mv. I've also been to the cafe! It was kind of weird though... >. >

A huge sandal at the very end of the entrance where the big lantern was. This is near the Shrine.
