Overview
  • The Yanesen area derives its name from the three districts it encompasses: Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi. While the mention of Tokyo often conjures images of bustling districts like Asakusa, Shibuya, or Harajuku, Yanesen offers a unique allure that sets it apart from the city's more well-known locales.
  • This is due to its preservation of the retro ambiance of the "Shitamachi" suburb, a characteristic that has earned it a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike.
  • Yanesen stands as a testament to Tokyo's rich history, with numerous structures dating back to the Edo period still standing proudly, having survived the ravages of World War II bombings.
  • Many of these edifices have been repurposed into charming cafes and restaurants, adding a touch of modern to the area while retaining their historical essence. As a result, these establishments have become not only local favorites but also sought-after destinations for tourists seeking an authentic glimpse into Tokyo's past.
What to expect

One of Tokyo's most beautiful, yet unknown, shinto shrines! You will see Tokyo's longest tunnel of torii red gates and other fascinating buildings in this peaceful area!
