Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street

Yanaka · walks · $

I come here whenever I need the city to feel human again. It always works. The kids run ahead and I slow down. That combination is rare in Tokyo.

Tokyo's best-preserved old shopping street. Cats, tofu shops, dried fish, and a senbei seller who lets kids watch the grilling. No chain stores.
