What to do and see in Tokyo, Kanto: The Best Things to do Adventurous

May 22, 2021 Renato Branum

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

To live more fulffiling life through interaction with owls... It's our philosophy. Interacting with relaxed-adorable owls make many people smile, and we think owls can heal our tired hearts like a therapy. We prioritize to keep our owls in good health ,and then, we apply the healing effects of 《Classical Music,Sconce Lighting,and White Color》 to our room so that our guests can experience "extraordinary healing". As a part of our perfomance, every flow of background music has its own theme, we go along with the story for 1 hour. The number of guests will be【limited to small gruops,and our room is provided by reservation only】so that the guests can spend some cozy time. We hope you will enjoy the “healing entertament” which is the only one bizarre-space in the world ♪

I never thought that I would have been able to be so close to an owl or even have one snuggling me. I highly recommend to visit this cafe, the owls are very well taken care of by friendly caretakers who will also help you take group photos professionally. The owls are also given time to rest after each sessions, do also note that no food will be provided but I can assure you that food will be the last thing on your mind when you visit these cuddly birds. They also have a shop in the cafe that sells various things from shirts to puzzles and even postcards of the owls!

Mokuhankan

Mokuhankan is a traditional woodblock print shop located in the famous district of Asakusa in Tokyo. You can find newly published prints as well as a wide selection of antique offerings. (We are currently closed due to the pandemic, and will reopen when general tourism returns to Japan.)

Last year, my wife and I stumbled on this shop. Loved it. Purchased a few prints, and enjoyed talking prints with Dave. So we came back a year later, and had an even more amazing visit. Dave even gave us a tour and took us upstairs where the magic happens, and it was so cool to watch his printers making wonderful works of art. Even had the please of meeting Ayumi San (I love her ghost prints). And between visits, I browse the website and add even more prints to my collection. My wife and I spend a month or so in Japan each year, and making my pilgrimage to Mokuhankan will definitely be a mandatory trip.

Wakalture Experience -Japanese Calligraphy and Cooking

Wakana teaches you the real Japanese culture such as traditional calligraphy, cooking, Origami, Tsumami-zaiku etc... Wakana is a licensed calligrapher and having over 20 years of experience!! At the calligraphy class, you will write your favorite word with your name in Japanese. Of course, you can take them home as a souvenir:) Udon making class comes with either Calligraphy, Tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette) making or Origami folding class. You make Udon from scratch! While we let Udon dough sit 1-1.5 hours, you'll experience one more Japanese culture. It's located in my local area close to both Akihabara and Ueno:) More cultural classes are available!! Please check my website for more details or just ask me:)

A fun afternoon for learning Japanese calligraphy that was a highlight of our trip to Tokyo. Gained an appreciation of the discipline and artistry required. Wakana is terrific instructor and patiently corrects mistakes (even if like me you repeat the same ones). We combined with the Udon cooking class which was delicious
