Day 17 was one of our free days. Me and one of my roommates went with one of our other professors looking for replica katanas and kimonos because many of our family members wanted them as souvenirs from our trip. We had done some searching before in multiple neighborhoods but never seen any that we would like to give to our family members. One of our professors actually has purchased a katana from Japan so he was aware of the places we could go for real or replica katanas. Due to real katanas being so expensive and harder to ship we decided to go with replica ones. We had found stores in Asakusa near the temple we had visited in an area we didn’t go to explore. There I was able to purchase a replica katana and tanto for my family. I was also able to find a cheap kimono for my niece over there as well.
