Eel restaurant Sensoji Temple
tourist section at Sensoji Temple

A small traditional restaurant that features eel. We sat at the empty table in the picture. We ate so much eel we couldn't look at it again for some time!

Large langerns in front of the Sensoji Temple (the oldest temple in Tokyo). It was a miserably rainy day, so good pictures were difficult.

The long entrance to the Sensoji Temple. It really shocked us to see so much commercialism and cheap tourist trinkets so close to the temple, but our guide said it has been that way for a very long time.

Incense burning at Sensoji Temple. Visitors purchase incense, light them in a large burner, then extinguish the flame by waving their hand. They fan some of the smoke towards their face as the smoke is believed to have healing power.
