Culture /Yanaka & Nezu
Yanaka Old Town Walk
Temples, wooden houses and neighborhood shops in one of Tokyo’s gentlest old districts.
Launching soon
Yanaka and Nezu are neighborhoods of temples, narrow lanes and small family-run shops. Life here moves at a walking pace, which is exactly how we will see it.
We will wander through temple grounds and residential lanes, stop at local shops, and talk about how ordinary Tokyo neighborhoods have changed — and what has stayed the same.
The walk (planned)
- Meet near a station in the Yanaka area
- Temple lanes and residential back streets
- A local shopping street
- Finish around sunset in Yanaka or Nezu
