On this virtual tour, we are visiting "Yanesen." This area was spared from the war's devastation and its friendly working-class atmosphere still remains. Known for its beautiful cherry blossoms, the Yanaka Cemetery, and the 170-meter-long shopping street lined with traditional grocers and houseware shops leave the town with a lingering feeling of the Edo period. We will visit the handmade puppet workshop popularly visited among tourists to introduce the unique finger puppet show held daily.
