See The Local Cats And Enjoy The Streets At Yanaka Ginza, Nippori

Looking for a more traditional local style in Japan

• 

  Out of the west exit of the station and you will soon find this place.

• 

  You will be seeing cats all over this place. Even in front of a shop.

• 

  You will find lots of shops related to cats as well.
  Like this one here, they sell stamps with your name on it with a cute cat designed on it.

• 

  This place sells T-shirts with cat designed prints and even hoodies with cat ears on it. 

• 

  You will see cats everywhere here in Yanaka Ginza. Real ones, cartoon ones, pictures and carvings, and many other kinds.

• 

  You will also find a lot of buildings with different themed decors as well. Some more traditional, whereas some keep the tradition with a different approach.

• 

  Even found an Omikuji (lucky draw) vending machine. Normally these are available at a shrine, and this one is written in four languages.

• 

  Himitsudo, shaved ice shop always has a long queue in front of their shop. 
  haven't tried shaved ice in Japan yet? take a look at our previous article on Kakigori to see what it's like.

• 

  There are also soft serves as well. This place here has original milk flavour and Kabosu, a Japanese citrus, flavour.

• 

  Here in Nippori, and the Yanaka Ginza area, there are lots of things to see and food to try.
