We, Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent, have passed the 1st Chuo-ku sightseeing certification and love history and culture. Many of you who are viewing this Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent blog also like history and culture, so there is a certification test that I would definitely recommend.
The first is the "Chuo-ku Tourism Test", which allows you to apply for the exam until January 15.
You can study the history and culture of Chuo-ku, and if you learn what you have learned is your own study, you can also participate in sightseeing events in Chuo-ku if you are appointed as a correspondent. By showing around the long-established shops that have been around since the Edo period and writing on a blog, I think it was good to love history again.
The other is the "Edo Cultural History Test".
The application period is from summer to autumn, so the text can be purchased at bookstores.
When I wanted to study more about history, I learned about the Edo Cultural History Test and took the 4th and 3rd grades held last month. This test is narrowed down to the Edo period, and you can study a wide range of cultures that were not found in textbooks. 20% of the questions were asked from "This year's title" outside the text, and the fourth was "53rd Tokaido-Journey in Edo".
In the Edo period, I traveled on foot, so it is common to leave early in the morning. What time is the "Seven" of the lyrics "Edo Nihonbashi Seven Standings" now? There are many things that I wanted to know this rather than a history test like a problem like that, and the text can be enjoyed with lots of pictures and photos.
There are many sponsors in this certification, so by presenting the certificate, there are plenty of discounts at Oedo Onsen and Hanayashiki, and there are courses and events that only successful applicants can participate.
I read the text on my daily commuter train and enjoyed studying for about three months. Grade 1 can only be taken unless you have passed the second grade, so I'm going to take the next exam by passing this time, but Grade 1 seems to be a fairly narrow gate with a single digit pass rate. The Edo period lasts for about 260 years and is profound, so I would like to aim for passing the first grade even if it takes several years.
"Chuo-ku Tourism Certification" and "Edo Cultural History Certification"
These two tests have the same content, and the text is well-made, so you will want to read as many times as you want. For details, we recommend that you search on the website.
