The festival of Chinese lantern fair held in Asakusa on 9th and 10th of July, the festival began from early 1700s.
Isabella Bird described Asakusa in her book like “Every day is a festival-day at Asakusa; the temple is dedicated to the most popular of the great divinities ; it is the most popular or religious resorts ; and whether he be Buddhist, Shintoist, or Christian, no stranger comes to the capital without making a visit to its crowded courts or a purchase at its tempting booths.”
From the past, Asakusa is always crowded with so many people.
