Welcome to Yanaka District in Downtown Tokyo!!
Yanaka has been known as ‘the town of temples and slopes` ever since, and was chosen as one of the ’Top 100 Historical Views in Beautiful Japan' in 2007.
They enjoyed Origami, Sumo, and learning about history of Tokyo
At the Origami Kaikan, we saw a lot of works and were impressed by their beauty. There are many young sumo wrestlers around Ryogoku Station. We also learned about the history of Tokyo at Edo Tokyo Museum. There is a beautiful garden in Ryogoku. The couple from California were able to make many wonderful memories in just one day. Their journey in Japan still continues…
We guided couples from California in Tokyo
One of the reasons why they chose Japan as a tourist spot is because they believe Japan is a safe country.
A Honeymoon in Japan
A couple from America enjoyed a very first day of ‘honeymoon in Japan’ at Kiyosumi garden, Fukagawa fudouson and Asakusa followed by Ueno. They took fortune slips at Fukagawa fudouson．The results were Daikichi(Great blessing) and Chukichi(blessing)．It seemed that the principal deity of worship was celebrating their marriage.
