A place where every detail feels intentional and every moment feels like art. The culture here is as beautiful as it is unforgettable.

First week in Tokyo with sbcctokyo26

Lots of fun exploring this week, we hit some amazing spots like Nikko, and ventured around different temples and historical sights! We also got to go Asakusa for a tea ceremony, walk the streets of Tokyo in the rain together, enjoyed lots of tasty foods, and got started learning about intercultural communication and Japanese Art history (plus a quick lesson in origami)
