Nakamise, Asakusa
Nakamise (篁画??筝?) is one of the oldest shopping avenues in Japan. After the Tokugawa Shogun settled in Edo (羆????, the former name of Tokyo), the population of Edo grew, and visitors to Sensoji temple (羌????絲?) increased.? Afterwards, neighbors of Sensoji were granted permission to set up shops on the approach to the temple.? This is the origin of Nakamise, and?it?is said that?this was?around 1688 to 1735. Near Sensoji were cafes (though it is very different from the Western ones), and near Kaminarimon (??潔??), the entrance gate of Sensoji, were shops of toys, sweets, and souvenirs. In?1885, the government of Tokyo ordered all shop owners to leave.? The area was reconstructed in Western-style brick in the same year. ?During the?Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, many of the red-brick shops were destroyed.??They were?rebuilt in 1925 using concrete, only to be destroyed again during the bombings of WW2. After the war, the people of Asakusa restored Nakamise, and in 1985, they celebrated the 100th anniversary of the modern Nakamise.? Illuminated signs were renovated, and the pavements were repaired.

Earthquake Museum
Living in Tokyo, you must be surprised by the frequently occuring earthquakes.? Most of these earthquakes are weak, at most level 3 at the Japanese earthquake scale. ?Japanese people are so used to it, that they won’t be surprised, and some are even unresponsive. These small earthquakes aren’t very grave.? You don’t have to panic at these.? However, there are possibilities that large earthquakes would occur, causing a disaster.? It is better that you?know about earthquakes and make ready for them. It is difficult to picture what a huge earthquake would be like from writings.? It would be easier if you?feel it.

(if you are prepared, you don’t have to worry).? […]

On a shopping street which is called ‘Monja street’, there are about 75 Monja restaurants.? Most also serve regular Okonomiyaki. Monja was at first simple snacks for children in Tsukishima, a district that started as?a downtown with many row houses.?
