Where we stayed and for how many nights
We arrived in Tokyo just in time for Sanja Matsuri, one of Japan's biggest and wildest festivals
A feature of Sanja Matsuri is the carrying of portable shrines through the streets of Asakusa
The shrines eventually reach Senso-ji ('ji' means temple) and finish at the nearby Asakusa Shrine
Everyday locals at Sanja Matsuri
