Local Guide FAQ
- What do you recommend (places, experiences, food) in the area?
(1) He greets Kannon-sama and Sanja-sama (Senso-ji Temple and Senso-jinja Shrine), the center of the town.
(2) He definitely goes to see a Yose at the Asakusa Engei Hall!
3) Buy Jusan-ri, Hagoromo and seasonal sweets from Ryusho-tei Nishimura.
(4) Eat doze-nabe set meal at Komagata Dozeusan while thinking of the Edo people's meal scene.
- Please tell us about the hole in the wall you know because you work there!
This is the Seiten-sama (Mt. Waitan Seiten). It is a quiet old temple in a quiet area with many devotees, and is a famous place in Edo that appears in many Ukiyoe and Rakugo stories. I usually go there often, but especially when I want to get back to my own pace. Everyone at the temple is always warm and welcoming, and I like it even more now that Tasuke Jushi recommended it to me.
- Tell us about your most memorable trip, with whom and where you went!
I recently visited Yokohama with my family. My 3-year-old son waved to the exotic crew and passengers at the ferry's send-off event, which we happened to attend, and we were able to visit our favorite stores in Chinatown and the Kan-tei Mausoleum.
- What do you do on your days off?
(1) Listen to rakugo or storytelling, wash clothes, and cook.
2) Reading books and manga (mostly about the Three Kingdoms, Japanese history, rakugo and storytelling).
3) Going out with family.
Half of my brain is always looking for things I can do for OMO stories. If I am in charge of an Activity the next morning, I listen to a rakugo storyteller I particularly like and get into the mood before going to bed.
- Is there anything you always take with you on a trip?
(1) A toy train for children.
(2) A book.
I do research on the history of the place and people before going on a trip. The first thing that makes my trip enjoyable is me!
