Tokyo: Yanaka & Nezu Old Town Heritage Walk

The main shrine, built in the early Edo period, is designated as a national important cultural property. The shrine pavilions are dignified, stately, and magnificent. The precincts of the shrine are spacious, and include Otome Inari Shrine with its bright red torii gate and various historical sites related to Mori Ogai. The shrine is also famous for its azalea blossoms and colorful flowers and trees.

The Tsukiji moat is a nationally designated tangible cultural property. Tsukiji-bori is a clay wall. Generally, it is found in temples and residences of high rank. It is a very tasteful scenery, and both the Tsukiji-bori wall and the buildings behind it have a lot of history. Why don't you feel the flow of time in Japan in Tokyo?

The museum is the renovated studio and residence of Fumio Asakura, the first sculptor to be awarded the Order of Cultural Merit. The building is a combination of the atelier portion of a reinforced concrete Western-style building and the residence portion of a wooden sukiya-style building. In the Japanese-style courtyard surrounded by the building, there is a pond in which many carp, including Nishikigoi, swim and seasonal flowers can be enjoyed.

The staircase is popular for its sunset view from the top of the lively shopping street. From here, you can see all the way down the street of Yanaka Ginza, and in the evening, it is known as a place where the sunset can be seen over the shopping street. The view of the shopping street with the setting sun is very picturesque. We will take a commemorative photo here.

This shopping district is very well known as a place where one can enjoy old-fashioned streetscapes. This is a shopping district where the new and the old are blended together, and can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages. Visitors can enjoy eating and walking around, sampling fried foods from famous butcher shops and other popular sweets. There are also fashionable general stores. It is not to be missed on a strolling course in this area.
