Hi this is Chris this is not a new episode this week but instead an encore episode but it is the most popular

episode we've ever had on Amateur Traveler.

Airmature Traveler episode 550.

Today the Amateur Traveler talks about shrines and temples, parks and palaces, a fish market and cosplay as we go to Tokyo, Japan. home, but maybe not, maybe not still the day.

Welcome to the amateur traveler.

I'm your host, Chris Christensen.

One correction with this week's episode

on Tokyo Japan at the time this was recorded, we were still planning a 2017 trip

to Tokyo with the Amateur Traveler Group.

And I apologize, but that trip is no longer happening,

even though we talk about it in this episode. Let's talk about Tokyo. I'd like to welcome to the show Jason Andrew Jenkins from an Epic Education.com and also Epic Education Radio, which is another

travel podcast focusing on family travel. Jason, welcome the show.

Hi, glad to be here.

Thanks for having me.

Today we're going to talk about Tokyo,

and we've done an episode on Tokyo a long time ago,

but it has been long enough that I wanted to come in and do another episode or actually I wanted

Jason to come in and do another episode because I've only been in Tokyo for about three days,

so I wasn't going to do it myself.

And Jason, what is your connection with Tokyo?

I lived in Tokyo from 2001 to 2013,

and I returned regularly.
