Nippori is one of the oldest district in Tokyo from the Edo period with historical buildings that were built before the World War II happened. We can find Yanaka Ginza not far from Nippori Station, a Japanese traditional market offering various products from fruits, vegetables, clothes, toys, household appliances, souvenirs and snacks.
Normally, this place filled with Japanese people come to enjoy the weekend. But nowadays, Yanaka Ginza has become international tourist attraction. Thus, we can be sure there is no empty locker on the weekend in Nippori Station. Planning to visit Yanaka Ginza on the weekend? Be prepared to jostle around, because the street will be filled with visitors.
Entering the small street that is more like an alley width 6 meters and a row of 70 stores as far as 175 meters amongst old buildings, you can feel the mysterious aura dan let your imagination take you back to old days of Tokyo.
Exit from Yanaka Ginza alley and you will find Yanesen Center, information service center that provides tourist information and free tourist guide maps, like Asakusa and Ueno Map for Muslim. These information are very helpful for Muslim foreigners as the population are growing rapidly in Japan.
