Asakusa Tour: Spanish Between Tradition and Modernity
Hello! My name is Riko. I studied in Japan. My wife is Japanese. I've been living in Japan for over seven years. Despite being a small island, it has surprised other empires with its potential since the beginning of the 20th century. What if I told you that the name of Mount Fuji isn't actually Japanese? And have you heard about the two Tokyos? You can discover interesting facts like these and others that only come with age on my tours, where we'll also explore social, religious, historical, and political aspects. See you! Riko

I'll be by the entrance to the Tourist Information Center with an orange bag and another one with a handmade touch!
Description
Hello! In this tour, we will focus on three aspects that will broaden your perspective on Tokyo and Japan:
1. Interesting details about Japan in general, not only from the past but also the present: how its society is advancing towards the future and how Tokyo differs from the rest of the country.
2. The reason why the Asakusa area has this layout and why, despite being a predominantly Buddhist area, it also hosts Shinto shrines.
3. Its history and its connection with Shinjuku and Shibuya, despite being in opposite areas.
