Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Senso-ji at dusk

Mon, April 22, 2013, by Muza-chan
There are very few things I do not like in Japan... one of them is that places like museums, gardens or temples are closing very early, at 4:30 or 5PM. As you probably have noticed, I like taking photos at the end of the day, and in some places, if the opening hours allow me, I arrange my itinerary to be able to take photos during the soft light of the evening.

Here is one of the places I love and where I can stay as long as I want, because the lights here are on until 11PM: the Senso-ji Temple from Asakusa, Tokyo. I visited it during every season and I was always tempted to wait and photograph it at dusk...
