This is one of the three Kumano shrines. Legend says the gods of Kumano descended here to build a new palace, and that's how Shingu City got its name. Among the three, Hayatama Taisha is the easiest to walk around.

Kagurazaka

Kagurazaka, in Shinjuku, Tokyo, first got its start as a bustling geisha district. Visitors here will find a large shopping street that’s home to trendy shops and cafes, but just a few steps from the main drag sits a few cozy, veteran Japanese eateries, chic cobblestone streets and black, wood-latticed fences.

It's not just Sensoji Temple—the whole Asakusa area has that classic downtown vibe. The rickshaw pullers are a highlight, too. They're all super fit and energetic, and many of them are really funny!
