- Alright, it's Thursday,
just heading out after my workouts and whatnot.
Today, I'm gonna go and check out
the really old temple in Asakusa, but on the way,
just wanted to come and check out the Cocoon Tower.
How cool is this building?
I love the shapes of it.
It's just super, super awesome.
Yeah, nice, look at that.
Love it.
(gentle piano music)
Alright, so I'm here in the Cat Cafe.
And we've got a few little kitty cats.
I have one over here,
because I'm about to feed them you see.
So, the feeding went pretty well.
Some of these guys really got a little bit feisty
and started jumping around,
but I think we've made a few friends now.
Hello, this guy's pretty chilled out.
(gentle piano music)
So this is one of the gates.
This is the Kaminarimon Gate,
in front of the Sensoji Temple.
The god of thunder is standing on the left,
the god of wind on the right.
(soft piano music) (crowd chatters)
So I've just now seen myself in these holy smokes.
Holy smokes!
So there you go, that's a little visit to Sensoji,
if I haven't completely messed up the pronunciation,
which is Tokyo's oldest temple.
Just a nice little wander around the grounds,
a quick little peek in the temple itself.
And a few nice little pictures as well.
Just gonna use the opportunity to stroll a little bit
around this area and see what else there is to see.
(drum beating)
(water splashing) (gentle piano music)
Just drinking a bit of dragon water.
Let's get my fortune read.
Alright, let's give it a shot.
100 yen, lets put it in.
(coins clinking)
Nothing's coming out.
Oh, there we go.
Ah, here comes the fun part.
I find this number in this massive
set of drawers and there's two of them.
(gentle piano music)
It says, number 29, the good fortune.
I've good fortune.
"Everything you worry about
"and troublesome affairs are almost over.
"If you do your best, you will be successful in this society
"and become well known.
"The wealth and treasures will be in your hand as you wish.
"You may meet a good senior
"who helps you become a splendid man.
"Your hopes and desires come true, being free from sickness.
"Find the things you lost.
"The person you are waiting for will show around soon.
"There are no problem of building a new house and removal.
"Making a trip will be good.
"There are no worries about marriage and employment."
There we go, good fortune from the Sensoji Temple.
You heard it here first, it's gonna happen.
Let's make it happen.
