Historic Philadelphia in Japanese
Konnichiwa, Philadelphia! This week, instead of highlighting a specific story, we'd like to announce that The Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia is now available in Japanese, as well as 12 other foreign languages. This is a great opportunity to learn about Philadelphia's unique history as the birthplace of the United States. The tour takes visitors on a walking journey through "America's Most Historic Square Mile." Located in Center City, it includes many sites within the Independence National Historical Park area, which is home to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. The Constitutional guides visitors on a walk through history where The Declaration of Independence and The United States Constitution were created.

Visitors can experience The Constitutional in a number of ways: on their own as a free, self-guided walking tour; with a tour guide for a fee; with the Philly MP3 Audio Tour; or via a cell phone tour. The Constitutional website is a great resource that highlights each stop on the tour with a brief history and photos of each building. So, if you've never had a chance to tour Historic Philadelphia, or if you've just been waiting to hear it in Japanese, now is your chance.

Information on The Constitutional Walking Tour in 14 languages can be found at TheConstitutional.com/foreign.
