Kanda
Overview
Kanda is a historic and energetic neighborhood bridging Tokyo's traditional and modern sides. Once a merchant district during the Edo period, it now hosts a variety of bookstores, retro izakayas, and tech shops. Akihabara and Jimbocho are just a short walk away, and Kanda Myojin Shrine offers a spiritual touch. The area is particularly lively during the Kanda Festival, one of Tokyo’s major Shinto celebrations.
