In Yanesen there are lots of narrow streets. Sometimes really good shops are located on these narrow streets. They seem like refusing lots of guests who don't know the real value and have interest in only shops widely known. They seem like waiting for the guests who really understand the quality they provide with utmost care and hospitality.

Cat town, Yanaka

Yanaka is often referred as cat town because there are so many street cats. While you are strolling through this old residential town located next to Ueno, you may encounter street cats. Actually, I had chances to take pictures of them while walking or guiding in Yanaka. Maybe this town is comfortable not only for humans, but also for cats. 

There are many people in this neighborhood, who are kind enough to feed them.

Old but new shrine

The Akagi shrine in Kagurazaka is quite unique. It is an old shrine, founded in the 14th century, but the current construction of the shrine is quite new, rebuilt in 2010. On top of that it was designed by Kengo Kuma, known as a designer of the stadium for 2020 Tokyo Olympic game. 

Unique shop located on the back street of Kagurazaka

Genuine good shops are sometimes hiding on back streets rather than exposing themselves on main streets. "Magnet Point" is one of such shops, located on the back street of cozy Kagurazaka town. The shop master, who used to be a display coordinator, says the concept of her shop is "Matured, but Cute and a bit lucky".
