Tokyo's hidden secrets｜Kagurazaka: A night of Japanese and Western fusion】**

**【 Walking into Kagurazaka in Tokyo is like falling into a time capsule of the Meiji era. On both sides of the stone ramp, century-old wooden townhouses and European-style buildings stand side by side. Lanterns light up one after another in the twilight, rendering the nostalgic atmosphere even more charming. This place used to be a gathering place for literati and scholars, but now it has become a hidden paradise where high-end restaurants and unique shops coexist. Turning into the alley, you may meet a hidden sushi chef or an old bookstore selling antique books. Kagurazaka becomes more charming after nightfall, with the cherry wood door curtains of the izakaya swaying in the wind and the windows of the French dessert shop flickering with warm light. It is recommended to avoid the peak of tourist groups and choose to visit on Wednesdays or Thursdays to enjoy the quiet poetry of this "Little Kyoto of Tokyo" alone. A five-minute walk from Kagurazaka Station, there may be a Tokyo-style painting around the corner that will amaze you.
