Kagurazaka District

神楽坂

Tokyo · Kanto

Kagurazaka is a Tokyo neighbourhood of cobbled lanes and stone steps climbing the hill from Iidabashi, built as a geisha quarter and still keeping traditional restaurants behind its side alleys. Its main street now runs to cafes and French dining alongside the older shops. The lanes are free and open at all hours, though individual venues keep their own times.

Why we picked it

Many mainstream travelers focus on more famous districts like Shibuya and Shinjuku, overlooking the cultural richness of Kagurazaka.
