Walking in Yanesen (1/2)

Found an old style senbei (rice cracker) shop while we were walking around Yanesen area in Tokyo.

Yanesen area is one of Tokyo's shitamachi areas, which used to be areas for merchants and artisans. There, you can still find flavorful essences of traditional cultures.

This Yanesen area had become more and more popular among people who love nostalgic side of this big city. Time Magazine has covered this area:
