"Sanpo University" Special Field Lecture (Ueno–Hongo–Myogadani Route): Prof. Shunya Yoshimi

Date: November 28 (Fri)
Time: 12:00–15:30 (subject to change)
Route: Ueno – Hongo – Myogadani
Details Coming Soon

This walking tour, beginning in Ueno and continuing through Hongo to Myogadani, traces areas undergoing redevelopment and explores urban spaces where layers of memory are being overwritten. By observing the underside of Tokyo’s transformation into a “tourist destination,” we re-examine the layers of history embedded in the city from a pedestrian’s point of view. This relaxed yet critical urban walk invites participants to reconsider the value of “Sanpo”, which we are increasingly losing amidst modernization and globalization.
