Shin-Nakamise Shopping Street

Taken on Coming of Age Day
Nice Temple.
The rickshaw as we know it was invented in Japan in the late 19th century during the modernizing Meiji Period. People power was seen as a cheap, convenient mode of city transport in those pre-taxi days. From Japan, they spread across Asia and all the way to Africa. 

Many countries eventually banned the use of rickshaws as inhumane.
If you’re a tourist in Asakusa district of Tokyo, chances are you’d be tempted to take the expensive rickshaw ride through the neighborhood. Do reconsider, and hop on the free Panda Bus instead. 

Yes, buses with panda heads in the front of them and panda ears sewn onto the seats’ headrests. Why, you ask? We honestly have no clue. But everybody loves pandas.

For extra adorableness, every now and then the panda eye winks.
We originally planned to skip Asakusa due to the amount of shrines we had already been to, but while eating lunch at Precce, we spoke with a man from India that had recently relocated to Japan for his career. He said that anytime he had a business client in Tokyo he always recommended Asakusa for the ample amount of street markets and the beauty of the temple. After hearing this, we had to go and check it out. We loved the hustle and bustle of this popular area.
