I heard about the event through the owner of Linda Hostel, Tomohiro Mizuguchi. I had never participated in a virtual tour, but I was curious to know what the experience entailed, so I decided to join the event.I enjoyed spending time with people from all over the world in a virtual space. Up until the tour, I hadn’t come across any virtual tours or events on my own and never really thought about the power of connecting people through virtual experiences. However, I soon learned that virtual space, like any other social space, lends itself well to conversing and getting to know people with the added benefit of never leaving home.
The most memorable experience on the tour was traveling through the Osaka marketplaces while learning historical facts about the area.
The reasons why I would recommend this tour is that it’s a fun way to learn about modern day city life in Japan while meeting new people who share an interest in travel and cultural exchange. I highly recommend it for anyone who’s curious about cross cultural exchange and education.
