Inclusive Tokyo: Sensoji temple in Asakusa for improving access
Editor’s note: The theme of Inclusive Tokyo is to explore the metropolis from the viewpoint of wheelchair users and people with disabilities. Tourism officials, with their sights set on the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and anticipate an influx of foreign visitors, are working to make public transportation and popular destinations more accessible. In this series, Barry Joshua Grisdale, a 39-year-old Tokyo resident who uses a wheelchair, navigates iconic locations to assess progress in creating a barrier-free environment.
***
Canadian-born Barry Joshua Grisdale selected Asakusa’s famed Sensoji temple to be the first destination for Inclusive Tokyo.
The iconic temple in the capital's Taito Ward is a must-visit stop for foreign visitors.
For wheelchair users like Grisdale, who prefers to be referred to as Josh, differences in level and elevation can prove to be a nightmare when trying to get around.
In recent years, Sensoji has worked hard to improve access in the temple grounds to people with disabilities.
For example, it leveled an approximately 10-centimeter gap under the massive red lantern at the Kaminarimon gate, the main gateway to the temple.
The temple carried out the work during large-scale renovations six years ago so wheelchair users and people with strollers can move around freely.
Josh was ecstatic to learn that he is now able to take a roundabout path outside the Kaminarimon gate to reach Nakamise-dori, a street with countless shops lining a passageway to the temple's main hall.
“Wheelchair users can now get to Nakamise-dori without any difficulties. I’m very happy that this historic temple has been renovated with an awareness on accessibility.”
After navigating Nakamise-dori and passing the 22-meter-high Hozomon gate, Josh arrived at Hondo, the temple's main hall that features a massive roof.
It was little past 10 a.m. and the temple grounds were already packed with visitors snapping photos.
“Wheelchair users tend not to be noticed by tourists and are at risk of being bumped into,” Josh pointed out. “Especially if you are a wheelchair user, I recommend getting here early.”
Josh journeyed on past the eternal incense burner and reached the 18 stone steps that lead to the inside of the main hall.
Up until 17 years ago, visitors in wheelchair had no choice but to offer prayers at the base of the steps.
Now, a vermillion-colored building houses an elevator.
This allows wheelchair users and people pushing baby strollers, as well as the elderly, to reach the main hall to make offerings and prayers.
“The ceiling of the main hall is 10 meters high,” Josh noted as he entered the cavernous structure.
“It is absolutely beautiful. If you look at the roof, there are tons of different paintings,” he said.
Before going into the main hall, Josh strongly recommends that visitors “look outside at the rest of temple grounds” to enjoy the view.
Shojun Shimizutani, who is with Sensoji's General Affairs Department, greeted Josh in front of the main hall.
According to Shimizutani, foreign visitor numbers are rising every year. Of the 30 million or so tourists who visit annually, an estimated 8 million are from overseas, he said.
“Recently, I have been seeing more tourists from other Asian countries who are elderly or disabled, he said. Our engagement in creating a barrier-free environment is important and we hope to make further efforts in the future.”

Tokyo Skytree and Asakusa ancient temple Senso-ji - 東京スカイツリ
Tokyo 東京スカイツリ is a broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 meters (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower and the second tallest structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa.
The height of 634 m (2,080 ft) was selected to be easily remembered. The figures 6 (mu), 3 (sa), 4 (shi) stand for Musashi, an old name of the region where the Tokyo Skytree stands.

Akihabara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akihabara (Japanese: 秋葉原), also known as Akihabara Electric Town (Japanese: 秋葉原電気街 Hepburn: Akihabara Denki Gai), is a district of Tokyo, Japan. It is located less than five minutes by rail from Tokyo Station. Its name is frequently shortened to Akiba (アキバ) in Japan. While there is an official locality named Akibahara, which is also 秋葉原 in kanji, nearby (as part of Taitō-ku), the area known to most people as Akihabara (including the railway station of the same name) also include Soto-Kanda, a part of Chiyoda-ku.
Akihabara is a major shopping area for electronic, computer, anime, games and otaku goods, including new and used items. New items are mostly to be found on the main street, Chūōdōri, with many kinds of used items found in the back streets of Soto Kanda 3-chōme. New parts for PC-building are readily available from a variety of stores. Tools, electrical parts, wires, microsized cameras and similar items are found in the cramped passageways of Soto Kanda 1-chōme (near the station). Foreign tourists tend to visit the big name shops like Laox or other speciality shops near the station, though there is more variety and lower prices at locales a little further away. Akihabara gained some fame through being home to one of the first stores devoted to personal robots and robotics.
The area was just out of Sujikai-gomon city gate (present Mansei bridge) which was one of the city gates (Mitsuke) of old Edo (Tokyo). It was the gateway from inner Edo to northern and northwestern Japan and Kan'ei-ji temple in Ueno. Many dealers, craftsmen and relatively lower class samurai lived there.
Akihabara Station
Akihabara Station (秋葉原駅 Akihabara-eki) is a railway station located in Tokyo's Chiyoda ward. It is at the center of the famous Akihabara shopping district specializing in electronic goods.

MUSLIMS TRY FIRST MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANT IN TOKYO JAPAN Day 3: Asakusa Sensoji & Shibuya
Salaam everyone! We hope you enjoy our travel vlog about our first Michelin star restaurant experience in Tokyo, Japan.
The rain finally stopped, so Sarah and I got to spend the entire day exploring Tokyo and all the amazing food it has to offer.
Our hotel was located next to the Yamanote green line that is run by JR trains, which allow you to use the subway in Tokyo to get to all the main areas like Asakusa, Shibuyya, Shinjuku, Shimbashi etc.
Breakfast is not a big thing in Japan, but we managed to find some really tasty pastries to start our day. We visited the Sensoji Shrine at Asakusa district which was a lot of fun. Great shopping, food, and sights to see. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and they are everywhere! We recommend visiting Asakusa and checking out the Sensoji shrine and sample all the street food.
After we got hungry, we found Halal Ramen! This is great, because as muslims we eat halal meat (Chicken and beef etc). We love ramen and we wanted to make sure we got to try it in Japan.
The Halal Ramen place is called, Naritaya Ramen. Located in Asakusa beside the Sensoji Temple shrine, so it is very convenient. The restaurant makes halal chicken ramen and it was delicious. Muslims can also have a spot to pray in the restaurant as well.
After we had some delicious ramen we wanted to see more of Tokyo and we ended up in Shibuya, the time square of Tokyo.
Shibuya is famous for the Shibuya crossing where you can cross the street in any direction with hundreds of other people. Really fun and cool experience, definitely recommend it. Also, Shibuya is a great place to shop, there are a lot of nice clothing stores and boutique stores that cater to young people.
Use the Yamanote Green line to get to Shibuya station. Shibuya is also close to Harajuku and Yoyogi park which is where we decided to go next.
Yoyogi park is huge and is famous for the amazing Meiji Shrine as well as having a really fun park and hanami or cherry blossom parties. A lot of street performers and entertainment are located at Yoyogi park. This is a must for a great cherry blossom experience and it's close to Harajuku and Shibuya making it convenient to get to.
Finally, Sarah and I got to try our first Michelin star restaurant in Tokyo called, Hashimoto. Which specializes in Unagi or Eel.
We are huge foodies and Japan is has the most Michelin star restaurants in the world, making it a great place to find cheap Michelin star restaurants to try. Hashimoto only serves BBQ eel or unagi which tasted amazing and was inexpensive! Your hotel can make reservations for you, we made our reservation a few days in advance.
We were the last customers for the day, and make sure you come before the last call. Many restaurants will have a closing time and a last call time to order food and if you arrive after the last call you will not be able to make an order.
Unagi is a delicacy and the chef made it taste like heaven! He BBQ the unagi eel and coated it with an amazing soy sauce. The rice absorbed all the juice and tasted like butter!
We had a great time there and the chef came out to speak with us which was very nice of him.
Y&S rating is Yusuf and Sarah rating that we came up with to review food based on taste, creativity, skill, service, and execution. The rating is out of 5 and it is really tough to get a 5 rating. So far the 1 Michelin star we rated is a 4.7 out of 5, because eel is difficult to make taste that amazin. He also perfectly cooked the eel and combined great flavors in the sauce and rice.

161129-1201 JAPAN; CRIPSY JAPEN CHAIKEN
In October 2016, I decided to hijack a trip to Japan.
A month later, we went.
This is how our first 3 days in Tokyo kind of went: waited for them at the airport, eating FamilyMart bread and drinking Royal Milk Tea, eventually realised that we were both at different terminals. Got excited over rotating train chairs, took dramatic shots of the sunset. Eventually located our airbnb, found a friend who was on exchange in Tokyo. Had oyakodon, cheers with 'Oishii' Milk. Took a bus to Shibuya, ate fancy french bread, but the winner was obviously still FaMiMa Chicken. Proceeded to eat Yoshinoya which we were later warned not to. Met a cool dude with his cool shiba inu, which Sarah hyperventilated over. Walked to Harajuku: where a cart full of fluffy cats awaited us. Saw the cool mirror-lined mall everyone takes photos of and posts on Instagram. Met another friendly fur child at Takeshita-dori where we also ate super yummy cripsy cream puff sticks and forced the boys to take purikura (sticker photos). The ceaseless eating followed with Gindako Takoyaki, Pablo Cheese tarts and Kinochaya Matcha Ice cream. Then we sang - practically yelled - at Uta Hiroba. Looked around Kabukicho and it led to the start of our Taito Station Addiction. Ate super minty black gum which miserably failed to impress Kai Ting, had Ippeichan Instant Yakisoba for supper. Rained the next morning and the boys were being 'baka' for walking in the rain. Visited Tsukiji market and just didn't. stop. eating. Soba, Tamagoyaki, Unagi, Sashimi, Seafood, Gyudon. Traveled to Roppongi for Mori Tower Museum and ooh-aah-ed at the sky tower view as well as the exhibition with finished with a great bang via teamLAB's Installation. Begged a security guard to let us into the National Design Museum which was about to close and pretty much ran everywhere taking photos and crying inside while the rest just waited for me. Rushed for cheap-ish gyoza, and beer, for dinner at Harajuku since everyone was Hangry. Queued for Lobster rolls, had Roast Beef Don and sat around Starbucks at Tokyu Plaza. Said goodbye to Yuqi and got ourselves ready to leave Tokyo for Nagano.

Tokyo Hotel Tour | Our Honeymoon In Japan
While traveling around Tokyo, we stayed in Red Planet Asakusa. We chose Asakusa because we stayed there 4 years ago and really enjoyed the location and the price levels of the hotels. Red Planet was in the perfect location and had everything we needed!
I never actually say how much it was a night and I don't remember what we paid, but currently the price is $70/night which is a really great hotel price!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After 4 years the land of the rising sun finally pulled us back. We couldn't stay away. When deciding where to take our honeymoon, it was a hands down, no brain-er decision. It had to be Japan.
We planned for the spring after we were married and saved up to take the 3 week trip of our lifetime! We visit Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Osaka, and many beautiful less traveled areas of Japan.

Idea:
In a visit to home for the aged few years ago, I heard an elderly lady telling me a story which killing her softly. She has been fighting for life when she was young. She was busy at work every day and has never traveled anywhere. She now always wanted to go vacation as her friends always tell her that Japan is a very interesting and beautiful place. Although she is already over seventy year old and still healthy, she doesn’t have enough money for vacation. After a volunteer lady knew her story, that lady made her a Japanese photo album which deeply touched by her thoughtfulness.
Today, I have the idea of doing YOUTUBE, thinking about what kind of channel I should start. As I love to travel, just make a traveling record channel! This idea reminds me the old lady in the home for aged and her story has given me more meaning to do this YOUTUBE channel.

-------------------ASAKUSA-----------------
Asakusa (浅草) is a district in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan, famous for the Sensō-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon. There are several other temples in Asakusa, as well as various festivals, such as the Sanja Matsuri.
The development of Asakusa as an entertainment district during the Edo period came about in part because of the neighboring district, Kuramae. Kuramae was a district of storehouses for rice, which was then used as payment for servants of the feudal government. The keepers (fudasashi) of these storage houses initially stored the rice for a small fee, but over the years began exchanging the rice for money or selling it to local shopkeepers at a margin.[1] Through such trading, many fudasashi came to have a considerable amount of disposable income and as result theaters and geisha houses began to spring up in nearby Asakusa

Guys, I've decided that I'm going to take a more direct and honest approach with you, my viewers. And part of that real talk has to do with something most Youtubers are not that willing to talk about - money.
The thing with Youtube ad-revenue is that it's a complete joke, and the only way smaller channels can earn an income worth the time spent making videos is with lots of low quality content, or sponsored content. I dont wanna play that game. I want to make the best videos possible for you, my viewers, but making good videos takes a ton of time, effort and money.
Thus, I started Patreon to help with the costs of producing these videos. There's a few of costs like: travelling around Tokyo, entrance fees and the cost of my time (hundreds of hours scripting, shooting, editing).
A lot of my fellow YouTuber friends are using Patreon so that their audience can support them directly. I would LOVE to make working on this channel my full-time job, so If you feel that my content is worth it then please have a look at my Patreon page and help me grow Tokyo Drew. Let's make awesome vids together:
