Yanaka Cemetery & Yanaka Ginza
I bring people here right after Senso-ji to show them the contrast. One district rebuilt from ash. The other untouched. The urban texture is completely different.
The neighborhood the firebombers missed. Walk Yanaka to understand what Tokyo looked like before 1945. The cemetery holds Meiji-era graves. The streets are still pre-war in their grid.
