!EVENT! Get a Free Transportation Pass to Explore the Metropolitan Area in Japan!

• 

  Everyone knows the big flashy side of Tokyo, but recently the thing to check out is a more older, retro side of Tokyo. Different from the enter city of Tokyo where there are bunches of people, these areas are more calm, laid-back way of life. 
  This time we thought it would be fun to introduce a travel course that shows people another side of Tokyo! Since it's still in Tokyo, you will really experience an awesome contrast!!

  So we took the pass we got from the JAPANKURU CONCIERGE DESK and headed out from Asakusa! There's a bus that takes you to some of Asakusa's recommended spots and it's only a 3min walk from the JCD. That bus is the Kusa 63 (草63) bus.

• 

  Just go straight towards the main road, cross the street and you'll see the Kusa 63 (草63) Bus Stop (Asakusa Park 6th District (浅草公園六区) to your left. 

• 

  Regarding the usage of the distributed metropolitan ticket, you can easily get on by showing off to the driver by cutting down the number that corresponds to the day of the day to use.

• 

  Take the Kusa 63 Bus for about 15mins and then get off at Ozeki Yokocho (大関横丁).
   

• 

  Once you get off the bus, go the way like in the upper right picture and walk straight for about 3mins.

• 

  It is indispensable for overseas travel, it is a local market. Of course, one of the highlights of Japan is "shopping street".

• 

  At Joyful Minowa you can see the everyday life of Japanese people but it's totally different from the everyday life of those in places like Shibuya. There's a lot of fun things to be seen for sure.

• 

  We went to a nifty looking cafe terrace seating! It didn't necessarily fit with the "retro Tokyo" theme, but it was a really nice, well-priced place to eat along the Toei Pass.

• 

  We got their "koji hamburger patty" and it was super juicy and came with rice and a salad.It was surprisingly cheap as well! Normally hamburger patties can be overly priced, but not here!

• 

  The seats on the 7500 (No. 7504 car) have been preserved, while the white model 5500 (car No. 5501), is used an for exhibitions/model.

• 

  It was really fun and easy to enjoy even if we didn't understand everything that was being explained.
