Things to Do in Yanesen, Tokyo: Visit Nezu Shrine, Food in Shopping Street, Ceramic Painting Experience
Yanesen, a combination of three neighborhoods (Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi), is one of Tokyo's best-preserved old town areas. With quiet temple lanes, Nezu Shrine's tunnel of torii gates, the retro Yanaka Ginza shopping street, and hands-on experiences like Maneki-neko painting, a half-day stroll through Yanesen feels like stepping into a slower, older side of Tokyo.
