Photo Of The Day: A Snowy Tokyo Temple
In the heart of the greatest metropolis in the world lies Senso-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple. Founded in 628, it is one of the city's biggest tourist attractions – and rightly so. An ENORMOUS lantern is at the head of a ridiculously long walkway of trinket stalls, which leads to the recently renovated main hall, a registered national treasure. Adjacent to the main hall is this five-story pagoda. During the daytime, it is easily overshadowed by other sights on the temple grounds, but lit up at night, it truly stands out.
Flickr user Manish Prabhune took this fantastic on January 14, during Tokyo's first snowfall of the year. A snowfall that ended up grounding 71 flights and stranding 3,400 passengers at Narita Airport.
If you've taken a great travel photo recently add them to our Gadling group on Flickr. We may pick one of yours as our Photo of the Day.
