Yanaka Ginza Street Food 🇯🇵 Tokyo’s Cat Town, Retro Shopping Street, Narita Airport, Japan Vlog 2024



Yanaka Ginza (aka Cat Town) is one of Tokyo’s Best Kept Secrets.

This beautiful cat-loving neighborhood in the Old Tokyo district is the final chapter of our Tokyo Travel Guide! Join us this week as we roam Japan’s traditional shopping street and food alley.

From the two best menchi katsus we’ve ever eaten to the best neighborhood tsukemen noodle restaurant, we’ll take you to Yanaka not once, but twice! Once after thrifting at Tokyo’s largest flea market (watch that video here: https://youtu.be/O2A8J4l7Vzk?si=O_aplydBrRUpAae0), and another time just before heading to the Narita airport.

Cats, cats, cats! Yanaka is also known for being an old-fashioned cat town where cat cafes, cat souvenirs, and cat spotting will surely be a cat-thartic experience!

Thank you for joining us in Tokyo as we move on to our next adventure.
