Yanaka Ginza & Surrounds
I come here when I need to remember what this city looked like before it rebuilt itself repeatedly. The visual grammar is different — weathered wood, hand-painted signage, iron details.
The pre-war streetscape Tokyo keeps losing elsewhere. Wood-framed shopfronts, a cemetery full of old graves, the city at human scale.
