A little time. A closer look.

Kagurazaka offers a neighbourhood walk through public streets, with food and craft interests along the way. Keep the route compact and distinguish public lanes from private entrances or restaurant spaces.

Something to notice

Compare the main slope with a quieter public side street. Notice how paving, shop fronts and planting change the atmosphere.

A little consideration

Respect residents and private property. Ask before photographing people or interiors, and do not expect a geisha encounter.
