I’m going to Tokyo this summer…any fun places recommendations?

How exciting! I hear Tokyo has some great walls! …But I’m going to assume you might want to move beyond just walls. The grounds of the Tokyo Imperial Palace are beautiful and a perfect place for a stroll. The Meiji Shrine is a great option if you are interested in seeing a Shinto shrine. If you are also interested in seeing a Buddhist temple, visit Zōjō-ji, which has buildings dating to the 1600’s. If you’re a sushi lover, you might want to check out the Tsukiji fish market before it is relocated in the fall of 2018. If you like unique and fascinating museums, check out the Ghibli Museum, the Sumo Museum, or the Meguro Parasitological Museum as well! Have a great trip!

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
