AKAGI SHRINE
It is a new and beautiful shrine and has an “Agaki Cafe” as well. Designed by Kengo Kuma. The path by this shrine leads down to the Edogawa Bridge. The Kagurazaka Station ticket gate is also close by, making it a good junction point.

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.

SATAKE SHOTENGAI
It is said to be the second oldest shopping street in Japan. It has a somewhat desolate atmosphere, which is rare in central Tokyo. However, there are some fashionable stores here and there. Look for cafes such as “229” and the meat shop “30-1 サンジュウ ヒク イチ (Sanju Hiku Ichi) “.

OKAZU YOKOCHO
You won’t find many stores where you can actually buy side dishes, but there are also miso and tsukudani (food boiled down in soy sauce) stores, giving the street a nostalgic old-fashioned impression. I recommend passing through here when strolling in Kuramae and Naka-Okachimachi.
