Yanaka Ginza & Surrounds

Yanaka · Neighbourhood Walk · $

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.
