Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai

Tokyo

8 hours

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai

The Edo period, when Tokyo became the capital, is often seen as the peak of Japanese art and culture! Temple architecture, woodworking, woodblock prints, porcelain... I will use traditional handicrafts to illustrate the history and lifestyle of the people of Tokyo. Who were the samurai? What difference with a Ninja? How were armors crafted? I am also going to teach you all you need to know about those fierce warriors in front of a large collection of authentic weapons & armors.

Once upon a time in Asakusa: Handicraft & Samurai

Japanese Gardens and Tokyo Life: Bunkyo City Customized Tour

Bunkyo City is in the heart of central Tokyo, just north of Chiyoda City where the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station are. The city is Tokyo’s typical residential and academic area where I was born, grew up, and live now. We'll move around the city with a Bunkyo City Community Bus, B-guru ( “beagle”, the mascot character of the bus), and visit Edo-Tokyo Japanese gardens and other calm and pleasant sites. You'll also catch a glimpse of Tokyo citizens’ life during the tour.

“Wonderful tour of Nagasaki with Sho”

We did a day trip from Fukuoka to Nagasaki by train. We chose Sho-san after looking at the various reviews. Sho-San was an amazing guide. He is a very knowledgeable and humble young man. He met us at the train station and ensured we were well taken care of throughout the tour. We learnt a lot from him about the history of the early Christians in Japan. The 26 martyrs museum was interesting and well curated, with exhibits and displays about Christianity in Japan. Sho-San then brought us to a charming cafe for a light lunch. After that, we visited the Peace museum, hypocentre and Peace Park. The fact that he lives in Nagasaki and is so passionate about Nagasaki’s history and culture made this tour a special one. I would strongly recommend Sho-san if you are looking for a guide for Nagasaki.
