Without any doubt, Asakusa is the most popular destination in Tokyo. Its unchangeable atmosphere, "Good old times", attracts many visitors every day. It was once the heart of Edo (Tokyo's ancient name) City, home to artisans, merchants and entertainers. As well as its oldest temple in Tokyo, Senso-ji and its great red lantern, its small lanes and winding alleyways are full of wonder. It's like a labyrinth. let's explore the labyrinth with me!

The essence of Kamakura - A half-day trip to another worldcover image

The essence of Kamakura - A half-day trip to another world

Kamakura
3 hours 30 min

From Tokyo, only one hour train ride takes you to another world, Kamakura, an ancient capital of samurais.Their spirit of "Zen" still remains anywhere. The passage of time is quite different from the one of megapolis Tokyo. I think three spots express the essence of Kamakura, Great Buddha (Kotoku-in Temple), Bamboo Temple (Hokoku-ji Temple) and First Shogun's Shrine (Tsuru-ga-oka Hachiman Guu).

Promenade--from Tokyo Station to the Imperial Palace

Tokyo
3 hours

Without any doubt, this is one of the most beautiful promenades in Japan, and also, especially historical road. At first sight, it doesn't look a lot of historical signs concealed. I'll tell you such secrets of this promenade taking a stroll on this road. There's no splendid palace like Versailles, but we can find remains of "Castle" in many places. That's the secret of this road because It's the scene of Japanese revolution, a dramatic and irreversible social change llike French revolution.

Tokyo

Sans aucun doute, c'est l'une des plus belles promenades du Japon, et aussi, en particulier la route historique. À première vue, elle ne semble pas caché beaucoup de signes historiques. Je vais vous dire de tels secrets de cette promenade se promenant. Il n'y a pas de splendide palais comme Versailles, mais nous pouvons trouver des restes de "château" dans de nombreux points. C'est le secret de cette route parce que c'est la scène de la révolution japonaise comme la la révolution française.

Kamakura-une demi journée dans le monde enchanté !cover image

Kamakura-une demi journée dans le monde enchanté !

Kamakura
3 hours 30 min

Il y a 800 ans, la ville de Kamakura était la capitale du Japon sous le gouvernement de samourai. En train, de Tokyo, par exemple Shinjuku, il faut environ une heure. Il y reste encore l'esprit du "Zen" partout. Je crois que trois endroits expriment l'essence de Kamakura, le Grand Bouddha (Kotoku-in ), le Temple de Bambou (Hokoku-ji) et le sanctuaire du Premier Shogun (Tsuru-ga-oka Hachiman Guu).
