1 Kagurazaka-dori Avenue

Starting from the bottom of Kagurazaka
hill by lidabashi station, Kagurazaka-doriAvenue is a colorful sloped road ﬂanked
by rows of Japanese keyaki trees. With
many long-established small stores,
modern restaurants and cafés, Japanesestyle misc. stores and more, activity neverstops. If you wander oﬀ from the avenue,
there are side streets and lanes wheretime seems to pass slowly. A perfect spot
for a stroll.

2 Hyogo yokocho Area
The ambience of the stone-paved Hyogo
yokocho (lane) and its several classic
Japanese restaurants has won it awards as
Shinjuku's most scenic spot. The name,
Hyogo (arsenal) comes from the Warring
States period (15th to 16th century), when
the armory of Ushigome castle was locatedhere. Its retro atmosphere and luxurious
ryokans (Japanese style hotel) have played
host to famous writers such as Akiyuki
Nosaka and Yoji Yamada and inspired many
famous works.
Iidabashi station (JR/Metro lines), Kagurazaka station (Metro),
Ushigome-kagurazaka station (Metro)"Kakurenbo" is the Japanese word for"hide-and-seek". This yokocho(lane)'s namecomes from an old saying about it, "If you
are tailing someone who does not wish to
be seen here, the moment he entersanother lane you will lose him". Its charmingstone-paved streets and its beautiful old
black fences will lead you to Geisha Shindou,
where the colorful atmosphere of the paststiII remains.

Ushigome-kagurazaka station (Metro)

This 100 meter long lane was given its
name by Shinjuku City in December of
2011. There are several kenban (geisha's
arrangement) oﬃces, where geisha study
and practice their art. When walking
down this lane, you can sometimes hear
the sound of shamisen from the institute.
This is the place to inherit the traditionalarts of the Kagurazaka Karyukai to thenext generation.
