Joseph Rosendo’s Travelscope
Tokyo, Japan - Celebrating the Past & Present
Season 7
Episode 707
Tokyo’s idiosyncratic pop culture, flashy neon lights, garish billboards and hoards of people threaten to overwhelm Joseph’s senses, yet it doesn’t take long for this episode to find its cultural center. On his Tokyo journey Joseph learns that while the glitz and glamor of modern Tokyo excites the senses, the heart and soul of the Japanese is found in their ancient customs and honored traditions.
