◆Kakurenbo Yokocho
It is said that the term 'yokocho' originated from the idea that even if someone follows you discreetly, they would lose track when you turn into one of these narrow streets and disappear. Let's go and search for the hidden heart-shaped cobblestones.
◆Honda Yokocho
This is the largest alley in Kagurazaka. The alley is home to over 50 establishments, mainly restaurants, and features a mix of modern buildings and well-preserved traditional structures, including old wooden shops and former ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurants), nestled between the buildings.
◆Bishamonten Zenkoku-ji Temple
This temple is considered a power spot with blessings of warding off misfortune, bringing good luck, prosperity in business, and financial fortune. It attracts numerous visitors daily seeking these benefits. If you visit the temple on February 3rd, you will witness the bean-throwing festival in which evil spirits are chased out.
◆Japanese food(snack)
Within the charming streetscape, you'll find numerous hidden gems and exclusive hideaways tucked away in the back alleys.
