Nakamise Dori is a pedestrian lane that leads up to Sonsoji Temple in the neighborhood of Asakusa, Tokyo. The lane is filled with shops selling souvenirs and traditional trinkets and foods/candies. On this day, the place was packed as it was such a beautiful fall day.
Interestingly enough, this location had the highest number of non-Asian tourists that I found in my stay in Tokyo.
One of the major temples in the Gyeongju region is Seokguram where a large statue of Buddha is carved from a single piece of stone. Photography is prohibited inside the temple, but the intricate roof details shown here were quite interesting. I just love all the colour they put into everything! The attention to detail is incredible and I can only imagine how much effort they must have put in to construct these temples, and even modern structures.
