Hiking and climbing mountains inspired me into this life philosophy - LIFE IS A MOUNTAIN. Every step you make leads to summit. You may be forced to turn around or change routes for any cause, never know. But, stay focused and look forward. The mountain will be there always. Pace yourself and reach "your" summit, for every step counts. Enjoy the view and feed your soul as it comes along. Life is a journey, not a destination. Life is like climbing a mountain.....

Asakusa Sensoji and Tokyo Skytree 浅草浅草寺と東京スカイツリー Tokyo, Japan
Asakusa (浅草) is, perhaps, one of the most popular and photographed sightseeing places in Tokyo. Sensoji (浅草寺) and Kaminarimon (雷門), Nakamise (仲見世), and Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー) are among the best known in Asakusa.
Asakusa is down to earth and you can experience Tokyo's "shitamachi" (下町)....literally means "lower town" or "downtown" vs. Yamanote (山の手) or "upper town". Shitamachi is a local area where common people used to live. It's a friendly and traditional neighborhood. Shitamachi has become very popular with Japanese and foreign tourists who look for the real soul of Tokyo!
