  1. One tip for visiting Japan is wear good shoes and use them a lot. The train system is awesome so it's tempting to ride it everywhere. But the more you walk the more cool places you'll stumble upon. I ended up on Yanaka Ginza simply because it was on the way to where I was headed.

  2. Yes! I love the Yanaka area, it's so old, quiet and charming. I did a similar walk like you a few weeks ago in the neighbourhood and am dying to return! Hot tip to those going to Yanaka Ginza: don't go too early otherwise nothing is open lol (as I found out!)
