Also, a cutting-edge experience like Edo Kiriko is another fun activity! You can experience the beauty of traditional Japanese craft Edo Kiriko which is a Japanese form of glass cutting. I could see it could take years and years to reach the level when I experience making my glass. It was fun!

Asakusa is full of historic buildings and the oldest shopping arcades of Japan. You can enjoy a unique experience with Rickshaws(Jinrikishya) which is a human-powered carriages. During the ride, you can learn many historical places to go and take a picture of the best spot!

Edo-Tokyo Museum in Ryogoku is one of my picks to experience the history of Japan. You can encounter the Nihonbashi bridge as you entered the museum. We can learn about lifestyles, cultures, economics from the Edo era. There are many exhibitions and fun experience exhibits in the museum.
