Sensoji Temple Asakusa – One of the highlights of our trip to Japan was a visit to Tokyo’s oldest and most famous of temples. The Sensoji is located in the north-eastern part of the city and was about a half hour train ride from where we were staying in Ikebukuro. Do not hesitate to visit. …
Visiting the Humayun tomb was eye opening. The more we travel and see the largess of the world, the more the saying “It’s good to be the king” really shows you how wonderful life was for the chosen few. Emperor Humayun was no different.
