說到淺草，大家的印象不外乎就是一個”雷門"的大紅燈龍，
因為只要是去過淺草的人，肯定絕對沒有意外地一定會在雷門面前來張相片。
Most of the tourists come to Asakusa, they almost always would take a photo right in front of the famous gigantic red lantern written as "Thunder Gate".
Then, they may walk into the souvenir sopping alley sells all kinds of Japanese objects,
such as lucky charms, fans, postcards and so on.
Taking some photos with the landmarks, and will be out of Asakusa in an hour!
一進到雷門兩側都是專門賣給觀光客的小物，
Yet, this time, I'm gonna show you a different way of visiting Asakusa, I guarantee you'll get much more out of it!
日本國內及世界各國來的觀光客，來到琳琅滿目一整條的店鋪，時常就可以逛上個一小時，
吃吃喝喝買買東西，再照幾張照片，就可以打道回府囉～
不過，今天蔡老師還要教你們另一種來淺草的玩法，
想感受濃濃日風，建議你也可以這樣玩喔！
等一下，老師～你怎麼坐在一個巨大的輪椅上面？哎呦，不是啦！這是人力車啦！
你們知道嗎？其實淺草的這些人力車各個都有牌照，也就是說只要是汽車可以到的地方，每一台人力車都可以去！
如果你要人力車拉你去機場，可憐的拉車大哥們也能上高速公路喔！
Let's get started by getting on one of these rickshaws in Asakusa!
These rickshaws actually have liscense plates, they have the same rights to use all the roads in Tokyo, just like any other car,
If you want to hire these guys to take you all the way to airport, they can do it, too!
左邊是淺草區域的手繪圖，右邊呢則是人力車拉著你到處跑的價格喔！
譬如說30分鐘拉兩個人是8000日幣，拉一個人則是5000日幣，那區間是什麼呢？
其實1區間是十分鐘，2區間就是20分鐘囉！
This is how they charge for the rickshaw tour:
10 min./JPY 3,000/ 2 People, JPY 2,000/ 1 Person
20 min./JPY 6,000/ 2 People, JPY 4,000/ 1 Person
30 min./JPY 8,000/ 2 People, JPY 5,000/ 1 Person
60 min./JPY 15,000/ 2 People, JPY 9,000/ 1 Person
120 min./JPY 30,000/ 2 People, JPY 18,000/ 1 Person

介紹一下今天要拉著我到處走的大哥，白羽先生！！(穿的衣服也太搭他的名字了吧！就兩隻手臂是白的，厲害！)
This is my tour guide today for the rickshaw Mr. Shiraha, he has a great bright smile!
OK, 上路囉！
有沒有看到左邊的高塔就是Tokyo Sky Tree, 東京晴空塔！
一出發白羽先生就馬上考我一個問題，問我中間這棟金色的大樓像什麼？
我看了三秒答不出來，他接著說，大家工作完都喜歡去......怎麼樣？(比出喝飲料的姿勢)
我說: ビール？(啤酒？) 嘿嘿～有沒有像一杯啤酒再冒泡泡？哈哈哈哈哈～真的好像喔！
這是Asahi啤酒的總公司，金色的大樓體是辦公的地方！
上面的白色泡沫是餐廳，一般人都可以進去用餐喔！
啤酒一定超齊的，搞不好還有限定版！日本人最喜歡來這一套了，"本社限定"！
As my tour starts, Mr. Shiraha asked me about the golden building right in front of us,
He wanted me to guess what form this building looks like, after few hints, I guessed it looked just like beer!
I was right, it's the Asahi headquarter building. I really admire the dedication Japanese people have towards their profession!
跑著跑著，突然白羽大哥就轉進一條巷道叫伝法院通，
然後就開始用迅雷不及眼耳的速度跟我一一介紹不同的店家
We soon entered this traditional style alley called Tenbouintori,
and Mr. Shiraha starting to introduce me all the Japanese traditional style stores.
這是賣門簾非常出名的Bengara淺草總店，歷史悠久！想擁有你自己專屬的門簾嗎？可以來這呦！
This is the specialty store for curtains, you can have a custom-made curtain here with any design you'd like!

這是一家可以邊吃飯，邊聽三味線演奏的餐廳，到底什麼是三味線呢？
三味線是一種只有三支弦的日本傳統樂器！想聽聽看三味線演奏的聲音嗎？
我在youtube上找到這一段三味線演奏，可以上去聽一下！http://youtu.be/nerhpPdKImA
This place "Waentei" is a Japanese restaurant where you can dine and enjoy the traditional performance of the Japanese instrument Samisen,
for the sound of samisen, you can click on the link above, which I found a wonderful samisen performance on youtube.

滿願堂的芋頭糕餅是最人氣的！
看起來真的很好吃耶～我好喜歡跟芋頭相關的甜品喔！可惜坐在人力車上沒有跳下來買...
Mangando's most famous product is their Taro Cake, as I was sitting on the rickshaw, didn't have a chance to jump down and get some..
According to Mr. Shiraha, they do have some very delicious and popular cakes!

厚～來到這個弁天堂，不是吃便當的天堂啦！
這是一座專門為演藝人士蓋的廟宇，只要你/妳是藝人，或是想往演藝圈發展，
都要來這邊拜一拜弁天女神，祈求大紅大紫喔！
不過因為弁天女神從來沒有交過男朋友，所以千萬不要帶你的男朋友或女朋友來拜，會分手！要注意啊！
弁天堂在淺草寺裡喔！
The Bentendou inside of Asakusa Temple is a shrine especially for entertainers to pray,
The Benten Goddess is the kind of Goddess who will help entertainers and their career.
However, if you come here and pray for love, you will definitely be parted with your love one, cause Benten Goddess never had a boyfriend,
so you don't want her to get jealous, do you?
淺草就在東京晴空塔的旁邊，所以走到哪都可以看到晴空塔！
The Tokyo sky tree is just right next to Asakusa, you basically can see it anywhere you go in Asakusa!
話說東北有三寶，人參貂皮烏拉草；
那麼淺草有四寶：天婦囉、蕎麥麵、もんじゃ焼き(monjayaki)跟鰻魚飯！
這家就是有名的經濟實惠鰻魚飯，只要日幣500就可以吃一碗道地的鰻魚飯呦！

讓我來插播一下，讓大家感受坐在人力車上的情形，人家很辛苦的，真的是賺血汗錢！
I inserted a short video to show you how it's like to sit on the rickshaw touring around Asakusa!
這間Angelus是間很有名很有名的咖啡店，很多書都介紹大家來，連創造小叮噹的手塚治虫都會來這喝咖啡！
The famous café attracted quite a few famous Japanese artists and writers.
Angelus Café was established in 1946, in Showa period.
店內的裝修及風格非常"古"色"古"香，畢竟人家從昭和時代，西元1946年就開到現在，
目前是第四代經營！
The caf é kept the original Showa decoration, and it's now run by the fourth generation of the family!
Angelus出名的就是他的淡咖啡，水加很多，
如果你不喜歡淡咖啡(像我一樣)就會有種採到地雷的感覺，
但是，總是有愛很淡很淡咖啡的人是吧！
They are specialized in watery coffee, very very very light!
蛋糕甜點也是維持"昭和"風格，所以我沒點來吃！Along the light coffee, they have some deserts as well.
