at Yanaka
An area comprising Yanaka, Nezu, Sendagi – called Ya-Ne-Sen – is a good place to walk around in autumn. The area retains a bygone days of Japan atmosphere, and in the past several great writers loved this area and lived here. Walking up and down slopes, going into mazelike narrow alleys, you will make some new discoveries. 








This temple was built in 1655 under Nichiren Sect of Buddhism. Wooden gate wall has bullet holes. They were shot in Ueno War in 1866 from new goverment soldiers. The temple hid loosing Samurai worriors of Tokugawa Shogunate.





Yanaka Ginza Shopping Mall

Allured by the delicious aromas, you will go down stairs called Yuyake Dandan and you will come to a busy shopping mall, Yanaka Ginza. You can find a lot of stores selling cute Japanese sundry goods along the street. It is nice to enjoy walking, munching on hot croquettes or minced meat cutlets as you stroll along.






Hanko Shop
”Hanko (判子)” is a seal in English. It is a kind of printing stamps used instead of signatures in any items requiring acknowledgment or 
authorship, such as personal documents, office paperwork, contracts, and so on.
