Visiting Senso-ji in Asakusa; the Chaos is Part of the Experience
Sensō-ji, is an ancient Buddhist temple in Asakusa. It is Tokyo's oldest-established temple, and one of its most significant. It is dedicated to Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion.
I'd like to say its a tranquil temple compared to the chaos of Tokyo around it but its not. Not because the amount of tourists although that helps with the chaos but because of the shops that line the path from the gate to the main hall.
For years I've had the terrace restaurant on my bucket list. The beautiful views and out of this world food and service I couldn't wait to see. The world renowned Mission hill winery right along the Okanagan lake is like stepping into a Italian winery. The terrace restaurant is built on two wings with an outdoor amphitheatre between, all overlooking the lake and the vines. Since Justin booked it, I wasn't really sure of the cost, until we sat down and the preplanned out 5 course meal boasted a price of over 150 per person. Needless to say we didn't do anything else for our anniversary a couple weeks later. Lol Have to say I would Definity go back and do a tour and tasting in the future.
