  • Tennoji Temple
    One of Yanaka’s oldest temples where you can immerse yourself in the quiet, historic atmosphere of the Edo period. Observe the massive seated Buddha (Shakyamuni) up close and hear a brief explanation of Japanese Buddhist aesthetics and beliefs about life and death. Enjoy a tranquil, contemplative experience, completely removed from the bustle of the city.
  • Yanaka Cemetery
    A historic cemetery dotted with the graves of famous Japanese figures—such as Tokugawa Yoshinobu. Walk beneath beautiful cherry-lined paths while hearing explanations about Japan’s views on life, death, and ancestor worship. Enjoy a peaceful stroll through this nature-filled resting place.
  • Ueno Sakuragi Atari
    A cultural complex inside a renovated early-Shōwa–era wooden house where you can trace the evolution of everyday Japanese life. At Yanaka Beer Hall, taste a rotating selection of domestic craft beers brewed for each season. Feel the warmth of the timber and the scent of wood as you enjoy a space where modern sensibilities blend seamlessly with tradition.
  • Nezu Shrine
    Built in 1706 and designated a National Important Cultural Property, this shrine showcases the elegance of Edo-period architecture and Japan’s indigenous Shinto faith. Stroll through the famed “thousand torii” tunnel of vermilion gates and make a wish as you pass beneath each arch. Seasonal changes paint the grounds with ever-shifting natural beauty.
  • Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street
    Stroll through a retro Shōwa-era shopping street and sample local flavors—Yanaka menchi (minced-meat cutlets), fried dango, traditional sweets, onigiri, tea, and more. Mingle with neighborhood residents as you enjoy a variety of authentic street foods.
