Yanaka Ginza, Tokyo


After a 15 - 20 minute walk from Ueno Park, and passing through the Yanaka cemetery, we reached Yanaka Ginza. We also say the Kaneiji Temple on our way, built in 1625.


The cemetery is like a gateway to a parallel universe. In an instant you find yourself in a completely different place and time period.


Besides souvenir and tea shops, there are also places for a quick snack. Its not a big street but its enough to give you a nostalgic Tokyo feeling.



Just a little side note, Yanaka Ginza and Ginza are separate places. Conceptually they are two opposite places. As modest as Yanaka Ginza is, Ginza is very luxurious.



The closest subway station near Yanaka Ginza is called Nippori. We got on the subway there and went on with our journey towards Imperial Garden and Imperial Palace.
