Yanaka Ginza

#tokyospots

Yanaka Ginza is a nostalgic shopping street that feels like a step back in time. This neighborhood survived the bombings of World War II, preserving the charm of old Tokyo. The street is lined with mom-and-pop shops, bakeries, street food stalls, and vintage craft stores. Cats—both real and decorative—are a recurring theme, adding to its quirky charm. It’s a peaceful break from modern Tokyo, perfect for those who enjoy slow travel, friendly shopkeepers, and a taste of everyday local life.
