" Senso-ji "is a Buddhist temple that is the oldest temple in Tokyo, the construction dates back to 628. " Kaminari-mon " means the gate of the thunder and the main gate of " Senso-ji ". In the middle of the gate, a huge red paper lantern is hung. In the lantern, characters are written in Japanese, "雷　門". " Kaminari-mon " means the gate of the thunder and the main gate of " Senso-ji ". In the middle of the gate, a huge red paper lantern is hung. In the lantern, characters are written in Japanese, "雷　門". " Nakamise-dori "is the approach to the temple. It's a long street lined with 90 shops, with a lot of Japanese sweets and souvenirs. There is also "Asakusa-jinjya" which means a Shinto shrine of Asakusa next to "Senso-ji". It is quite typical in the great Buddhist temple where the main gate, the approach to a temple and the Buddhist temple form a line, sometimes with the Shinto shrine.

12:00 PM

Town of Kappa-bashi

Kappa-bashi is the town specialized in wholesale cooking utensils. There are diverse shops on a large street. As the area is primarily reserved for professionals, for example, kitchen knife shop offers a wide variety of knives. However, you can buy what you want, of course, and even samples of resin food. This town is very rare in Japan and I have never seen it.

Ending Point

at Twara-machi station, Ueno station or at your hotel

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Junzo, appelez-moi Junzo.

Je suis un Guide-Interprète National en français.

Je suis un ancien boursier du Gouvernement Français et faisais la recherche du physique de solide au Centre d'Etude Nucléaire de Fauntenay-aux-Roses. J'ai très bon souvenir sur la France. C'est pour ça que j'ai commençé le guide-Interprète en français.

J'ai guidé les touristes en groupe et personnels ces dernières années et je peux vous présenter le tour de votre choix. Je voudrait vous montrer la belle nature, les aspects moderne et traditionnel dans Tokyo, l'esprit japonais, la cuisine, le bistro japonais(17:00~) et le Karaoké à chanter.

Si vous avez l'intention de visiter Tokyo et les environs, veuillez me contacter à tout moment et rejoindre mon tour! J'espère passer du bon temps avec vous. À bientôt!

Hello! My name is Junzo, call me Junzo. I am a National Interpreter Guide in French.

I am a former Fellow of the French Government and was researching solid state physics at the Nuclear Center of Fauntenay-aux-Roses. I have very good memories of France. That's why I started the Interpreter Guide.

In Japan I worked in the field of compound semi-conductors .

Now I am interested in the history and the culture of Japan.

I have guided group and personal tourists in recent years and I can present you the tour of your choice. I would like to show you the beautiful nature, the modern and traditional aspects in Tokyo, Japanese thoughts, cuisines, Japanese-style pubs (after 17:00) and the Karaoke to sing.
