From Tokyo Daijingu to delicious Chinese and fruit sandwiches in Kagurazaka, and finally stylish Japanese foods as souvenirs!

This time, we will take a walk in Kagurazaka, which also has a lot of history. We will start at the Tokyo Daijingu, the nearest station to Iidabashi Station.

This is a very grateful shrine that is also called o-ise-san of Tokyo. Let’s pay our respects before we go for a walk.

TOKYO DAIJINGU
This shrine is famous as the Ise-san of Tokyo. Amaterasu (the inner shrine) and Toyoke (the outer shrine) are enshrined together, so you can visit the shrine as if you were in Ise.
  • FACILITY
While returning to Iidabashi Station, walk up Kagurazaka a little and you will find “Ryuko-tei” on your left. 10 minutes’ walk. Have lunch here. Dinner is also recommended.

An authentic Chinese restaurant where you can casually come in. They recommend single dishes rather than courses. The food is really delicious no matter what you order.
  • EAT
After lunch, take a leisurely stroll. Take a side street in the middle of the hill. It takes less than 5 minutes on foot.

KAKURENBO YOKOCHO
A stone-paved street slightly off the main street of Kagurazaka. There are restaurants and kappo restaurants, but it is fun just to wander along. Hyogo Yokocho, a little further away, is also recommended.
  • PUBLIC
Return to the main street of Kagurazaka and walk 10 minutes to Fruits Sandwich.

After taking a rest in the park, go straight through the back streets to the fashionable shrine. It takes about 3 minutes on foot.

Return to Kagurazaka Main Street and walk about 10 minutes. Take a break for reading and coffee.

  • EAT

AKOMEYA is the goal. Let’s go home with some dinner dishes and fashionable snacks as souvenirs.

If you have gone through the Chinese restaurant “Ryu Kung Tei” on the way, I recommend you to go back to this AKOMEYA restaurant or Ryu Kung Tei for dinner.

Kagurazaka has many sights to see and a lot of fun in discovering its history. Please visit Kagurazaka as many times as you like, taking side trips.
