Today, we went to Asakusa! The Showa students met us at Kaminari-mon, the big gate that leads to Sensoji, the oldest temple in Tokyo. Then, we went to Sensoji, and there we split up into 4 groups and each group went to sightsee on their own.
Students went to a variety of places around Asakusa. After leaving Sensoji, some students went to a matcha ice cream shop that had several different levels of matcha, based on how much matcha is in it. Others went to try the red bean paste-filled pastries everywhere on Nakamise-dori (Nakamise Street). Everything seemed to be delicious!
We met back at Kaminari-mon and asked the Asakusa group for the business project to meet back at the gate once more after lunch. Everyone else was dismissed and many of them went to the Tokyo Skytree, which was a 20 minute walk away.
After lunch, Asada-sensei’s Asakusa group students met us at Kaminari-mon and the students went together to complete their business project!
