The Edo Wanderer

You came for the Japan that's still here under the city — old shrines, sumo, festivals, alleys, and the sound of a hundred years of pots clanging.

Yanaka in the morning, sumo by noon, izakaya alley at night. The full reading lays out an old-Tokyo itinerary that doesn't waste a step, the three neighborhoods that punch above their weight, the timing for catching a sumo basho or a festival, where to sleep so the city is at your doorstep, and how to eat your way through Japan's longest-running working-class kitchen.
