As an island nation set apart from its neighbors, Japan has developed a unique culinary tradition. During your stay in Japan, food is one of the best ways to get an insight into the local customs and way of life.
Food is often elevated to an art form in Japan — special attention is given to textures and colors, garnished, and even the plates the food is served on. Get ready to experience dishes that are not only packed with flavor, but are also visually spectacular.
Kita-Senju Station is located in the Adachi special ward of Tokyo, a former postal town from the Edo period. The station originally opened in 1896.
Kita-Senju is the third-busiest station on the Tokyo Metro network in terms of passenger traffic. The JR East portion of the station alone serves more than 200,000 passengers daily.
Takadanobaba Station is located in Tokyo’s Shinjuku special ward, between two commercial districts – Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. The station first opened its doors in 1910.
Takadanobaba literally means “Takada’s horse grounds”. The area is named for a baba, or horseback riding and racing grounds which used to occupy the area, and the Takata, the family who built it in the 1600s.
Asakusa Station sits on the banks of the Sumida River in Tokyo’s Taito special ward. Built in 1927, it’s a tall, imposing building with a clock tower.
It really looks as though it has been transplanted from historic Paris or London, and is spectacularly illuminated at night. It also serves as a gateway to some of the city’s most cherished cultural landmarks.
The Japanese word onsen refers to the hot springs that dot the islands of Japan, fed by warm, mineral-rich spring water. Japan hosts a volcanic geography, so the water is heated naturally by geothermal forces. It bubbles forth from the ground, filling pools with water that is somewhat hotter than a standard Jacuzzi or hot tub.
