A.

Monzen-Nakacho is easy to walk on your own, but most of what makes it interesting is invisible without context. A Local Expert turns a pleasant stroll into a neighbourhood you actually understand.

A.

A Local Expert tends to add a layer that even repeat visitors haven't seen: the details, the context and the spots that don't make it into any travel guide.

A.

Comfortable shoes and modest clothes as Fukagawa Fudo-do is a place of worship that is strict on clothing and behavior.
