Shinagawa is located south of Tokyo right on Tokyo Bay and is a hub for boardwalks, restaurants, shopping, and cultural sites. It is a special ward of Tokyo and is called Shinagawa City. Much of the land is reclaimed land from the ocean however there exists a great dichotomy between the aging castles and large number of samurai graves and the growth of the tech industry and international embassies. During the Edo period Shinagawa functioned as a post city, a starting off or ending point for travelers journeying through the country.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf5 The Nihon Immersion Experience . After downing a couple of matcha bubble teas and odangos \ud83c\udf61 for my afternoon snack, I\u2019ve decided to make the most of the rainy day by taking part in a tea ceremony and a samurai sword lesson. . It was informative and enriching, true to Ayaka-san\u2019s teaching of \u4e00\u671f\u4e00\u4f1a (ichi-go, ichi-e) of one time, one experience and Suzuki-san\u2019s introduction to the martial art known as Iaido (\u3044\u3042\u3044\u3069\u3046). I loved the structure and order of both activities. Thanks to Mie-san of Asakusa Jidaiya for making this happen quickly. . I will be the next Batt\u014dsai. \ud83d\ude01 . #Tokyo #Japan #AsakusaJidaiya #Asakusa #Jidaiya #TeaCeremony #Iaido #Samurai #TurningJapanese #IThinkImTurningJapanese \ud83c\udfb6 \ud83c\udfb5<\/a><\/p>\n
