Here are informations about Cool Japan that I am interested in.
Tokyo Ancient Road Walk
Tokyo still has many historic ancient roads.
Let’s walk on these ancient roads.
I think you will come across something interesting.
After playing in Modern Tokyo, such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Shinagawa, Akihabara and Asakusa, Let’s go on a Time Slip Trip of about 2 or 3 hours.
The Tokyo Ancient Road Walk is a information summarizing the ancient roads of Tokyo and memorandum of signposts, milestones, monuments, temples, shrines, etc. that I could actually find when walking.
The journey of “discovery”, not “confirmation”, is interesting.
Rather than just going to the place written in the guidebook and “confirming” what is there, if something new “discovery” is made, the journey will be even more fun and interesting.
Write down any knowledge or information that will give you hints for “discovery.”
Especially when walking along an ancient road, you will be able to discover more interesting things if you know the history, customs , and the change of the area.
