Many visitors do not realize that beyond Tokyo's shiny architecture there are neighborhoods unchanged from a century ago. Yanaka is one of these neighborhoods, lovingly referred to by the Japanese as shitamachi or downtown. Like most shitamachi neighborhoods, Yamaka is a low-rise, almost rural place that makes Tokyo lovable and livable, taking us back to another era.
