#familytrips2024 Yanaka Ginza, often dubbed "Cat Street," is a charming shopping street in Tokyo's Yanaka district, famous for its nostalgic atmosphere and feline presence. This narrow, bustling alley is lined with traditional shops selling local snacks, handicrafts, and souvenirs. Its nickname stems from the numerous cats that roam freely, embodying the laid-back vibe of the area. Visitors can enjoy a variety of street food, from freshly grilled skewers to sweet treats, while experiencing a slice of old Tokyo. The area's quaint ambiance, coupled with the friendly cats and historic feel, makes Yanaka Ginza a beloved spot for both locals and tourists seeking a break from the city's modern hustle.

For those who are looking for a place that is not crowded, not many Thais, and most importantly, it is an area with an old atmosphere but is located in a big city, I recommend this place, “Yanaka Ginza”. They call it the “cat area”, but I didn’t see a single cat, lol. This area is a small area with a traditional atmosphere. There are food and souvenirs with better prices than Ameyoko Market. Most importantly, it is very easy to get to. Take the JR Nippori station and walk a little bit and you will arrive. There are also many cute houses on both sides of the road, like Kawaikawajai, to see! #YanakaGinza #catarea #Kyoto #placestovisitinjapan

I went to Yanaka Ginza in Taito Ward, Tokyo! This shopping street has supported the lives of the downtown area since the 1950s. It is in an interesting location, sandwiched between Arakawa Ward and Bunkyo Ward. It is a must-see spot for cat lovers, with cat ornaments on the roof and cats in the evening. 📍3-13-1 Yanaka, Taito Ward, Tokyo #gw2022jp
