Please watch the following series before going to Japan. Since we will be staying in Kanagawa(神奈川）, which is next to Tokyo (about 20 minutes away from Shinjuku), you can explore Tokyo almost every day after class. I am hoping that these extra information will give you something new about Tokyo.
Episode One: The Way of Samurai
Episode Two: The Will of Shogun
Episode Three: The Return of
Barbarians
