05/22, Arts Culture Tourism from Tokyo (Sanja Matsuri‪)‬ NOTEBOOK — Arts Culture Tourism from Tokyo

The G7 summit in Hiroshima concluded yesterday, after discussing Ukraine with its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who made a highly-publicized visit on Saturday. With all eyes on the summit in Hiroshima, two Chinese coast guard ships slipped into Japanese waters that same day entering waters around the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. And with current affairs dominating every conversation, Japan’s Environment Ministry has quietly revealed the country’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2021 rose for the first time in eight years. Prosperity is being celebrated as part of Sanja Matsuri in Asakusa, one of the three big Shinto festivals in Tokyo and one of the wildest, passing through the streets surrounding Sensō-ji Temple and Asakusa Shrine.
