Yanaka Ginza is a shopping street lined with stores that support local people’s lives. There are about 70 shops selling “okazu” (prepared Japanese side dishes), fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, flowers, stationery, general goods, bento lunch boxes, books, electric appliances, medicine, tea, and shoes. Yanaka Ginza has a welcoming old-fashioned atmosphere. You can feel the energy and appeal of life in Tokyo’s old “shitamachi” area.
