Note: This event has already passed.

Let’s stroll Yanesen area to look for nostalgic sights and delicious foods. Yanesen is a generic name of Yanaka, Nezu and Sendagi town in Tokyo. They developed as temple district, temple town and Samurai residence. Many wooden architectures built in Edo ~Showa period still exist in this area. During the walk, you will have a chance to see/shoot ancient buildings, which are renovated and reused as shops, cafes, museums etc. Next, we will visit one of the most popular SHOTENGAI (shopping street) to enjoy TABEARUKI (munching local foods while strolling) and purchasing traditional Japanese products. The shopping street is also well known as the town of cats. You can find many cat motif goods/foods. Cat statues set on the roof and perhaps real cats napping on the street. Our goal will be the symbol of Nezu town, Nezu Shrine for the azalea festival. 100 kinds of azalea will be in bloom.
