Hozuki Market@ Asakusa: July 10, 2017



It is summer. 

The weather has been irregular in Japan this month. While we have had heavy rains in Kyushu and in other some parts of Japan, we have had very hot days in Tokyo.

I visited Asakusa to enjoy Hozuki (Chinese lantern plant) market.

The area was crowded with many foreign tourists.

Visitors were taking pictures at Kaminari (Thunder) Gate.

They enjoyed walking Nakamise shopping street.

The sunshine was strong and it was so hot. Some girls are in the traditional yukata costume.
