In Tokyo, Japan, the Yanaka district is known to be the most “authentic” part of the city, with the two neighbour- ing neighborhoods of Nezu and Sendagi. All three form the so-called Shitamachi, “lower city” or popular district and are grouped under the name Yanesen (Yanaka, Nezu, Sendagi). It is the part of Tokyo that has escaped all the tragedies that ravaged the rest of the city during its history (fire, earthquakes, and bombings). A large part of Yanaka is occupied by his cemetery. The rest consists of residential neighborhoods with very few vertical constructions. One can even find some lost wooden houses in the middle of the numerous small alleys of the district. The entire neighborhood has developed since the Edo period around the Kan’eiji temple and dozens of temples have been added to it over time, making the district a teramachi as found in many cities in Japan ( Kanazawa, Takayama among others). Today there must be a hundred or so small Buddhist temples in the area.
Yanaka Village’s appearance, however, is not unique in Tokyo. Other neighborhoods of this type can be found in many places in Tokyo.
The charm of Yanaka is found in particular in the street known as Yanaka Ginza, or in the housing estate Ueno sakuragi atari, in its many temples and its narrow streets.
