This is because there are university graduation ceremonies in large halls around Tokyo Station, and many people take commemorative photos in front of the Tokyo Station Building afterwards. You may have the image of Japanese people wearing kimonos, but in reality, very few Japanese people wear kimonos on a daily basis.

Most Japanese wear kimonos only for milestone events in their lives, such as coming-of-age commemorations and weddings. This subtitle describes the people and events in the video. The culture, lifestyle and way of thinking of the Japanese people will also be mentioned.

If you want to enjoy only the scenery and audio of the walk, please turn off the subtitles. This retro-looking building is the Marunouchi Station Building of Tokyo Station. It was partially destroyed by fire in an air raid during World War II, but has since been restored.

Since some people stay for several hours with a cup of coffee, this café has started to set a limit of “only 90 minutes for a cup of coffee. “Dumplings and beer are a culture” Dumplings are a mixture of minced meat and chopped vegetables wrapped in a skin and baked.

Many Japanese choose a Western-style wedding ceremony in a chapel with a dress rather than a Shinto wedding ceremony in a shrine with kimonos.

At the end of this wide street is the residence of the royal family. Tours are available during the day, but some areas must be reserved in advance. Enter Marunouchi Naka-dori Avenue. This avenue attracts many people during the Christmas season to see the illuminations. Tokyo International Forum.
