Description

There are few places left in modern Tokyo where you can experience the samurai era, especially dressed in a kimono. The Asakusa district is a haven of traditional Japan and simultaneously the ideal shopping destination. With this audio guide, you'll traverse the Thunder Gate, greet Buddha's guardians, savor Japanese sweets, and make incense offerings for good luck. You'll admire koi carp and ring the temple bell. You'll discover how the temple abbot brokered peace with raccoon dogs and why employing the services of a geisha is not considered disgraceful. Eager to deepen your understanding of Japan?
