A stroll around Yanaka March 2017 part 2

4th March 2017

Yanaka-ginza 

It was just a  short walk from Yanaka cemetery to locate the steps that lead down into Yanaka-ginza: a popular shopping district consisting of one main street with a few side streets leading from it. It's a narrow pedestrian street lined with shops, restaurants, cafe's and stalls.  With most of the buildings dating back to the mid 20th century  I had the feeling of stepping back in time to a busy 1950s or 1960s  Tokyo shopping street like the ones in old Japanese films.

As always please click on the photos once and then a second time to view in full detail.
