Traditional Tokyo charm in Yanaka

Sightseeing

Message from Tamra Bow

The Yanaka District in Tokyo is like stepping back in time.

It’s one of the few areas that survived the bombings of World War II, so it’s full of old-school charm with narrow streets, traditional shops, and peaceful temples.

Walking around here feels like you're in a little village, with cats lounging everywhere and small cafes that serve up delicious, local treats.

It’s perfect for a slow afternoon, especially if you want to experience a quieter, more authentic side of Tokyo.

Definitely a spot to explore if you're after something off the usual tourist track!
