Showa Memorial Park.
The incredible Showa Memorial Park is more than one hour outside of Tokyo.
Today we're going to Showa once again!
This time in Tokyo where we're gonna be visiting a place called Kankome, which is a Dagashiya where they're selling very old and traditional candy from Showa period.
Because you see here from Showa Day on the 29th until the 6th, Children's Day.
Concrete, of course, is much better than wood, which is what they were made of back in the Taisho era and the early Showa era.
But it's still covered in ivy, the way that it was back in the Showa era.
Locals named it Showa-Shinzan, and to this day it remains the only mountain in Japan you could have watched grow while eating your lunch.
Number one, it was actually seen as a bad omen, and the Japanese government covered up the birth of Showa-Shinzan back in the day.
It was the social hub of the old-time Showa-era Japan.
A link to the tour is in the video description, but we were mostly here to learn about this part of Showa-era Japanese culture, which is in danger of going extinct.
The Shinto shrine was built in Showa 6, or 1931. 昭和六年(1931年)建造神社
The streets of Taisho, Meiji, and Showa are still the same.
Inside the new Shinbashi building are too many shops to list but to name a few there is a shop that sells cameras, some shops to buy tickets, a Showa era book cafe, a picture frame shop and an incredibly popular omurice restaurant.
It's really like, how do I put it, it's like a place close to the Showa era.
