My daughter has a photo of herself in this very spot from a trip she took two years ago. I couldn't wait to get a shot here because of the leading lines. This photo has the cute mother and child in the center--but the photo quality is not very good. Plus, I have edited it to heck and back. Before entering the Asakusa Temple in the background, there are all these touristy shops selling bowls, food, Jpop keychains, ice creams, you name it. So many school groups and people from all over the world.
I enjoyed this as my first temple visit in Japan (one of many I would see in Tokyo and Kyoto).
