Sightseeing in Tokyo

I went around Tokyo with a family from the Philippines a few days ago. They came to Japan for sightseeing and they will stay in Japan for 9 days. I spent one day with them during their stay in Japan.

I met them at the hotel they are staying at and we moved to the Imperial Palace first. It was a weekday but many tourists were visited to the place. We walked around from Niju-Bashi, which means a dual structural bridge and is a popular place for taking a picture, to Ote-mon Gate, which is one of the gates to enter the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace. After walking around, we moved to Asakusa to have a lunch. 

After enjoying lunch, we moved to Sensoji. It was also full and lively with tourists there and many people were taking a picture of a famous red lantern at the gate. In the precincts of Sensoji, the 2 daughters drew Omikuji, which are written fortunes and they indicate one's overall fortune from extremely good to extremely bad. Unfortunately, both of them drew a bad fortune. It is said that when a person draws a good fortune, he or she should take it home, but when a bad one is drawn, it should be tied to the branch of a tree. Following this custom, they tied it to the branch.

They will stay in Japan for a few more days and I hope that they will have a good time staying in Japan.
