YANAKA/NEZU 




OUR SWEET ROAD


The Yanaka Metropolitan Cemetry  [map A]

3 minutes from the south exit of JR Nippori station.
Although the signs on the platform show that the north exit is closer to the Cemetry, the south exit is recommendable for strangers because it's much easier to find the Cemetry entrance. The Momiji-zaka slope is the way you should take to reach the entrance.


"Momiji" means maple (trees) in Japanese.


 We went on a close visit to Yanaka, a place located near the Ueno Park. Although Yanaka is a town of a lot of temples and cemetries, it has a light and casual, evenacademic atmosphere・・・a nice place to walk around.
 We picked out several Japanesesweets shops in Yanaka to introduce to you here.  I like this town so deeply that I composed a song of Yanaka, please listen ("CLICK"!!)・・・of course FREE !.
