The shamisen is a plucked stringed instrument. Its construction follows a model similar to that of a guitar or a banjo, with a neck and strings stretched across a resonating body. The neck is fretless and slimmer than that of a guitar or banjo. The body resembles a drum, having a hollow body that is taut front and back with skin, in the manner of a banjo.

Tokyo - I have visited Tokyo Tree. Because foreigners currently cannot pre-purchase tickets, it is best to go early in the morning as the line-up lengthens as the day goes on.

Kyoto - Philosopher's Path is a pedestrian path that follows a cherry-tree-lined canal in Kyoto, between Ginkaku-ji and Nanzen-ji. The route is so-named because the influential 20th century Japanese philosopher and Kyoto University professor Nishida Kitaro is thought to have used it for daily meditation.
