Tokyo Musashinoshi Kichijoujihonchou 1

Just after exiting Kichijoji Station you’ll come across this shopping area with a series of narrow alleys. Its roots lie in a market that opened up in front of the station in 1945. Close to 100 tiny shops are packed into the area of all sorts of genres, including restaurants, clothing shops and shops selling miscellaneous goods. This is a fun place to visit on a stroll around Kichijoji, and the locals recommend trying shoronpo (steamed buns) or taiyaki as you walk through the intricate passageways.
Dangozaka (Sendagi district)

Travel / Tourism

Tokyo Bunkyou-ku Sendagi 2-chome

Dangozaka is a hill in Tokyo’s Bunkyo City that slopes downwards to the east between the Sendagi 2-chome and Sendagi 3-chome neighborhoods. There are two explanations as to how the hill got the name Dangozaka (“Dumpling Hill”). One explanation is that there used to be a dumpling shop at the bottom of the hill; the other is that people who slipped while walking down the hill in the rain when it was slippery used to roll down the slope like dumplings. Dangozaka has been featured in many literary works, including “Seinen” by Mori Ogai, “Ukigumo” by Futabatei Shimei, and “D-zaka no Satsujin Jiken” by Edogawa Ranpo. Several famous people lived in the area at the top of the hill, including Natsume Soseki, Takamura Kotaro and Mori Ogai. The road at the bottom of the hill continues onwards towards the Yanaka district.

Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Kikuicho

"A slope passing to the southeast of Kikuicho's Raikoji Temple starting at Waseda Station on the Tozai Line. Natsume Soseki was born in the neighborhood in 1867. It got its name from his father, Naokatsu, an important landowner who took to calling it by his own name. This eventually caught on and became official. Towards the Ushigome Health Center you can find the site of Soseki Sanbo, where the author spent the later years of his life. It later became a municipally run apartment building, and today there's the small Soseki Park there. Its ""Neko Zuka (cat mound),"" a memorial to deceased cats, dogs, and pet birds, was installed together with a bust of Soseki."

In 2011, the site was designated a National Cultural Property (Place of Scenic Beauty).
