Take a wonderful step back in time on Yanaka Ginza, a charming shopping street that still holds the nostalgic atmosphere of old Tokyo. This friendly, 170-meter-long lane is lined with around 60 small, family-run shops and is affectionately known as 'Cat Town' for its many feline-themed decorations and souvenirs. Be sure to try some of the delicious and affordable street food, like the famous minced meat cutlets, and end your stroll at the 'Yuyake Dandan' sunset steps for a picturesque view down the bustling lane as evening approaches.
