We start along the Kamejima River by the Minamitaka bridge.
We'll walk towards Hachobori Station then look at the mix of building architecture from the 1950s to 2000s. The March 10, 1945 Firebombing destroyed much of this area and there are few buildings still standing from before 1945.
Most Temples and Shrines were moved to Asakusa and tower mansion apartment buildings sprung up. Today, it's a chill neighborhood with many high quality restaurant, family owner for generations, usually found in the alleys.
