Asakusa---strange town.
Last Tuesday was a cultural day(national holiday) and we had an event around us.
As it was a beautiful day, I took a walk to take some photos♪
On the way to the festival, I found Ninjya!

Actually, they often appear around our hostel.
If you see them, just say hi or ask for a photo;)
Jidai Matsuri (Tokyo Historical Parade) is a costume procession which recalls
Tokyo's history and culture from the Heian era to the Meiji era.
They are from Army Procurement Agency of Japan↓↓

He is Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last shogun of the Edo government.

On my way back, I found "Mito-Komon" and his delegation.

They are very very famous characters among Japanese irrespective of age and sex.
