This was my first time to visit a Hagoitaichi market. The market was full of “decorations” for new years that bring good luck for the coming year.
Of course the market was full of delicious food stands full of Japanese foods from Sushi to omonomiyaki and some more special as well like Ramen burger.
I’m now sitting here at home and watching a Christmas music show live on tv with all famous Japanese and foreign artists (including lady gaga I think), my girl is cooking delicious christmas food at the same time.
but here are some very interesting photos from this event at Asakusa, Tokyo.
as you can see, the place was packed with people!
Few Normal asakusa photos that I took
The main reason for this market was these decorations, I saw couple very good ones that I liked as well.
The dragon in the middle is one of my favorites !
and of course One piece
In my site you can see much more photos of them so visit my flickr asap ! 😀
