Nippori: Strolling and eating in the nostalgic old town

#Register for January Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 The name Nippori itself was unfamiliar to me until the Skyliner line opened, and I experienced the convenience of traveling between Narita Airport and the city center. In the past, I mainly stayed in hotels near the Narita Express, but the journey to Tokyo Station still took 53 minutes, so this time I chose to stay in Nippori, which is only a 36-minute drive away, and I also hope to walk around this area. Nippori is an old town, so the first stop was of course the Yanaka Ginza shopping street at the west exit of Nippori Station. I heard that this place is the filming location for many famous movies, and there are also many time-honored shops there. There are many different kinds of food. Walking along the Yanaka Ginza shopping street in Nippori in the middle of winter, I discovered that skewers are extremely popular. There are also many nostalgic shops and restaurants, including soba noodles, Indian restaurants and bagel shops. Although this street is not very big, it is a good choice to stroll around. Then we went to find a nearby coffee shop from Yanaka Ginza. This time, my Japanese friend found a coffee shop called CIBI Tokyo, which was only a 4-minute walk away. It had a large glass window and glass door outside, and the interior was decorated with wood and cement. It was very stylish, and the coffee tasted good too. Walking from the shopping street to CIBI Tokyo, you will pass through residential streets of varying sizes. There are also small markets selling seafood, meat, and fruits and vegetables, which are full of life. In addition, there are many different restaurants in Nippori-Minami Station, including Torikizoku, which you can try. It is worth mentioning that there is a Taketakaan Okano Daigo confectionery store opposite Nippori South Station, which sells different Japanese confectionery. I tried their Five Generations Daifuku, which they make every morning. There are two flavors: mugwort and original. There are a lot of red beans inside. As someone who loves Daifuku, I feel very happy. The hotels in Nippori are not big. There are no five-star hotels or department stores, and the shops do not close very late, but there is an atmosphere of peaceful and tranquil life. ##Tokyo itinerary ##Holiday tour of the old district
