Brian Higgins lived and taught courses at a university in Tokyo for 6 to 10 weeks each year for 10 years. During that time, he was able to travel widely around Japan. In this talk, he will focus on Tokyo and nearby areas (less than a two-hour train ride from Tokyo). He had no experience with the Japanese language or way of life before he began these annual journeys. He will share photos of some of his favorite sites, discuss some insights into the history of the beautiful and amazing city of Tokyo, and liven the dialogue with some personal anecdotes as he learned to navigate his way through Japanese culture and society.
