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. It’s
not a big street but it’s
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.
