What kind of town is Yanesen, where retro and art blend together?

#SpringZeroYenTrip "Yanesen" is a name that combines the three areas of Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi, a downtown area that retains the atmosphere of the Showa era. It’s an enjoyable area just to walk around, with old folk house cafes, art galleries, and Showa retro-style shops scattered throughout 🚶‍♀️✨ There are few major chains, and each place is unique and stylish. It’s perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle and take a leisurely stroll through the town! Access & Tips It’s recommended to start from Nezu Station or Sendagi Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. Ending at Yanaka Ginza allows you to enjoy gourmet treats as well 🍡

Yanaka

Step Off the Beaten Track in Tokyo’s Retro Corners ✨🚶♂️🍡 Stroll the atmospheric streets of Yanaka in Nippori, where time seems to slow down and Tokyo’s old soul truly shines. Combine this with a contrasting blast of neon energy in Akihabara, the city’s otaku-culture wonderland, for a full day of exploring Tokyo’s hidden and hyper sides. Start your day in Yanaka—Taito City, Tokyo 110-0001, open all day, year-round. Wander through Yanaka Ginza for quirky shops, traditional sweet treats, and cozy local cafés (try the melon pan if you see it!). Don’t miss the peaceful Yanaka Cemetery, especially in spring for cherry blossoms, and hunt for cute cat statues around every corner. Insta-worthy angles: snap photos of the nostalgic Yanaka Ginza street, the lantern-lit alleys, and the iconic yuzu fruit stalls. After soaking up the retro vibes, take the Yamanote Line to Akihabara for a complete mood switch—just 2 stops! Dive into multi-floor anime shops, game arcades, and bustling electronics stores. Make time for a themed café if you’re up for it! Top shots: giant anime billboards, shopfronts stacked with figurines, and the evening glow when the neon comes alive. Personal tip: In Yanaka, mornings are calm and photogenic with fewer crowds, so start early. Wear comfy shoes—walking between attractions is part of the charm. In Akihabara, keep cash handy for random arcade games or gacha machines, and always check street crossings before trying to capture those busy urban scenes! #Tokyo #Yanaka #Akihabara #HiddenTokyo #TravelJapan
