Gardens, Parks, Temples &
the Über city


Around the corner from the fish market is the Hama-rikyu gardens.
We were very lucky and got to see the many spring blossoms in the parks,  gardens and city in general.
We visited the Senso-ji Temple and there is a fun market in the front entrance of the temple
and you can try the sacred lottery - or Omikuji- which I did of course (fortune told below).

Wow, do my Kanji skills suck!
The market leading up to the Senso-ji Temple where they sell yummy deep fried donut-like delicacies. Don't let the bean-paste fool you - it's sweet like a jelly donut!
To work the sacred lottery, first you pay, then you shake the metal cylinder and then a stick pops out with a number. You match your number against the little drawers (or some nice Japanese lady next to you finds it for you)  and ta-da -you pull out your fortune.
I wasn't sure if "a little bit worry about traveling" meant I should NOT worry about it or only worry a little bit?!	Seeing it was only the first day of our adventure, and not wanting the bad luck to follow me, I tied up on the post and left it behind at the temple.
