If you come to Tokyo for sightseeing, Asakusa is not the only Buddhisit temple you should definitely stop by. Be sure to visit Fukagawa Fudoson, a little further east than Asakusa. We affectionately call it ‘Ofudo-san’, but its official name is Naritasan Tokyo Betsuin Fukagawa Fudo-do. It is a Tokyo branch, so to speak, of Naritasan, an ancient temple near Narita Int’l Airport that is well known to overseas travellers. The temple offers daily Goma, fire ritual at 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm, which we would like you to experience.

Would you like to make your daily skincare routine easier and more effective? Since using Canadel, which a friend gave me for my birthday two years ago, I have had no complaints or worries about the time, cost and, most importantly, effectiveness of my skincare routine. The gift I received was the basic product in the Canadel range, “Premier Lift”, which comes in a pink container, but after I finished using it, I used all the other products in the range in trial sizes. As a result, I ended up using “Premier Barrier Fix” in the green container, which matched my sensitive skin. Canadel is an all-in-one gel, which has […]
