Festivals in Tokyo
In the period that I lived in Tokyo, many festivals took place at temples
and shrines. On this page, you'll find some photos from Adults'
Day, Asakusa temple, a mikoshi
(portable shrine) from a festival at Asakusa, a little statue
as you find many at temples and a whole row of
these statues.
