Kagurazaka, Sloping road in Shinjuku, Japan
The stone-paved slope of Kagurazaka stretches through narrow alleys filled with traditional shops, French restaurants, and Japanese eateries.
During the Edo period, this district developed outside the outer moat of Edo Castle and became a center for geisha houses and entertainment.
The neighborhood maintains several active geisha houses within its side streets, while incorporating modern French influences through cafes and patisseries.
The main street closes to vehicles daily between 12:00 and 13:00, with extended pedestrian hours from 12:00 to 19:00 on Sundays and holidays.
Akagi Shrine, at the upper section of the slope, combines traditional elements with modern architecture through its glass and wood renovation by Kengo Kuma.
