Yanaka Ginza & Yanesen Neighborhood

Yanaka · Walk · Free

This is where I go when Tokyo's noise gets to me. Nothing here is for Instagram. It's just a neighborhood that survived.

The best-preserved shitamachi neighborhood in Tokyo. Old shotengai, a vast cemetery, craft shops, and the smell of menchi-katsu frying on the main street. Walk it slowly.
