Keyword: Yanesen Part 1

#TOKYO brings you travel trends based on social media posts written by experienced travelers. On this virtual tour, we are visiting "Yanesen." This area was spared from the war's devastation and its friendly working-class atmosphere still remains. Known for its beautiful cherry blossoms, the Yanaka Cemetery, and the 170-meter-long shopping street lined with traditional grocers and houseware shops leave the town with a lingering feel of the Edo period. We will visit the handmade puppet workshop popularly visited among tourists to introduce the unique finger puppet show held daily.
