Brazilian couple in east side of Tokyo in a hot dayNew!!
It was really hot day but the couple enjoyed one full day in the Shitamati areas where common people used to live. They are Asakusa, Kiyosumi Shirakawa and Monzennakachoo districts where many temples and shrines are located on top of the beautiful Japanese garden. I hope that they could touch a part of Japanes cultures and traditions.

Mexican family in Tokyo Part 2
The next day, I took them to Asakusa Senso-ji Temple. For guests who love beer and sushi, I took them to the most famous sushi restaurant in Tokyo, “Sushi Zanmai”. Everyone was delighted with the delicious beer and fresh sushi.
Mexican family in Tokyo
For celebrating the anniversary of mother’s 80 years old, the daughters invited her to visit Japan. While using a wheel-chair to walk around, the mother was very active and enjoyed the trip though it was hot and humid. For lunch, they ate Sushi, highly appreciating Sushi of Uni (sea urchin) and OOTORO (fattiest tuna) which are very expensive. At the tourist information center, they experienced wearing Kimono for free and took a photo.
