Japan : Asakusa Pt. 3

Sensō-ji was a very impressive temple. Some Buddhist monks were just ending their chant as I started recording, and I wished I'd got there a few minutes earlier. People were milling around, briefly bowing their heads in prayer and throwing coins into a receptacle - something we encountered a lot at temples throughout or journey, presumably for good luck/fortune.
