The Tokyo Promenade of History and Culture
Tokyo Walking Courses such as the Tokyo Promenade of History and Culture (aka 東京歴史と文化の散歩道) unveil the layers of Tokyo, from ancient echoes to vibrant modernity!
Walk around Harajuku (Shibuya Station – Omotesando Station)
Shibuya is the busiest city in Tokyo. The crowds around NHK on the slope past Koen-dori are finally thinning out. This is the area that Doppo Kunikida depicted in “Musashino.” The dense greenery of Musashino was used as a training ground, an Olympic Village, and then Yoyogi Park. A straight line from the youthful town of Harajuku to the stylish Omotesando. The Dojunkai Apartment, a modern Taisho-era house along the approach to the shrine, has also been rebuilt.
Aoyama Ryokuin walk (Omotesando Station – Nogizaka)
From Omotesando, cross the exciting Aoyama Street. Eventually, I came across the old-fashioned whitewashed walls of the Nezu Museum. This is already high ground in Aoyama. Mokichi Saito wrote many poems about the quiet appearance of Aoyama Cemetery, which covers the hill. “If you walk into a grave wearing white tabi socks, you might be able to get far and small.”
Akasaka Sanno walk (Nogizaka – Sakuradamon)
Down Nogizaka, which is associated with General Nogi, is Akasaka, a downtown area that has been around since the Meiji era. The restaurant street lined with blackboard walls conveys the vestiges of the past. The east side of Sotobori Street has completely changed to a small hill. Hie Shrine (Yamanosou), the local deity of the Tokugawa family, is enshrined on the top of the hill. Stretching out in front of the shrine is Nagatacho, the political center.
