Due to our vivid and overactive imagination, some of us wish
to travel in time. Ride in a time machine like Doraemon and go back to the past
or explore the future.
However, there is a place I know where the past meets the
present.
Be a time traveler like me at the Asakusa
Kannon Temple in Japan!

| Five-storied Pagoda, built in 942 |
Various Buddhist temples and statues can be seen.

| Hōzōmon 宝蔵門 |
 |
| These 5.45-metre-tall statues represent Niō, the guardian deity of the Buddha. |
 |
| The Dragon Fountain |
Although Japan is one of the most technologically advanced countries
in the world, they still manage to preserve their old customs and belief as
manifested in the temples of Asakusa.
