How to Rediscover Your City’s Past: Tips from a Tour Guide | Justin Velgus | TEDxTohokuUniversity

What is your city trying to tell you? Take a walk with tour guide Justin Velgus through his second home of Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. Some visitors and even locals mistakenly claim Sendai’s downtown lacks history because of a wartime air raid. However, Justin reminds us that to rediscover the history of your city, you’ll have to think like a detective. Justin Velgus is currently working at SenTIA. He moved to Sendai after his studies in Akita. After a few years of teaching English, he worked with the Fukushima government to promote Sake and agricultural products overseas. For him, "hidden" means something that is waiting to be discovered. He is on a hunt to discover the history and past of Sendai that seems to have been lost in the Earthquake. He has written exclusively about travel and culture of the city and is a long term advisor to Gozain. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
