" 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.
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

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.

Maintenant, je m'intéresse à l'histoire et la culture du Japon.
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.

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.
When you visit Tokyo and neighboring area, please contact me at any time and join my tour! I hope to have a good time with you. See you soon!

“Very nice enriching visit”
This visit allowed us to discover many facets of the city, whether on a historical, traditional or current level. Our guide has great knowledge and was very well able to share it with us through the four spots visited. We will keep a very good memory of it. Thank you Junzo
Junzo T.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Philippe, Thank you for your very good review. You are very friendly, so I had a very pleasant day. You all listened carefully and understood my explanation well. I am very happy to be able to share with you the origins of Japan, such as history, religion: Buddhism, Shintoism, and the Emperor system. You are my best customers. Best Regards, Junzo

“Second tour with Junzo”
We had requested the tour to be in French. Our first day had been difficult because his French was difficult to understand and he may have an hearing difficulty. So, we gave the opportunity to speak in English if he felt better but he insisted for French. This second day was a little bit better.
Junzo T.
Dear Michel, Sorry for the late reply, because I was busy guiding 2 French families. On the first day, you were talking about architecture with your Japanese friend in English, so I was simply following your Japanese friend. He speaks English very well. I had no idea that you were interested in Japanese architecture. When I was young, I worked at the French Atomic Energy Institute for only 2 years, so I am well aware that my French is inferior to that of French people. I was developing compound semiconductors at a Japanese company and it is the only English-speaking chance to present research and speak at international conferences. I want to teach foreigners about Japanese culture and history and I'm looking forward to hearing the opinions of people from other countries. Sorry I wasn't much help. Best regards, Junzo
