Day 5- Temple and Sky Tree

We ended up going to a temple where it was extremely crowded. At the temple they had many shops with a lot of people. I checked out some of the materials and souvenirs they had there and found some pretty good stuff. I just wanted to window show and not spend my money so I could make sure I was getting the best deal. After looking at gifts we headed to the temple and saw Japanese people put smoke on themselves as a cleansing and also putting washing their hands at a fountain for cleansing. This was a ritual before they entered the temple and after we saw them praying in the temple we headed towards the big building Sky Tree. Sky Tree was amazingly tall and very nice to look at. We also discovered during our Sky Tree adventure a boat ride that will take us on the river front down to see some pretty cool things then stopping at a museum for us to check out. They day was pretty exhausting so headed back to the hostel to rest and gear up for a night in Shibuya.
