Kagurazaka Apartments for Rent, Tokyo

Kagurazaka is one of Tokyo's most charming neighborhoods: a sloping main street full of shops and Kagurazaka restaurants, with narrow stone-paved alleys behind it where traditional ryotei still operate. A former geisha district, it is often called Tokyo's "Little Paris" for its French bakeries, bistros and the nearby Institut français de Tokyo.

Halfway up the hill, Zenkoku-ji Temple has been a local landmark since the Edo period, and side streets such as the cobblestoned Hyogo Yokocho are some of the most atmospheric in the city. Every autumn the Bakeneko Festival fills the street with a costumed cat parade.

Getting around: Kagurazaka Station is on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, and Iidabashi Station at the foot of the hill connects to the JR Chuo-Sobu Line and the Tozai, Yurakucho, Namboku and Oedo lines. Ushigome-Kagurazaka Station on the Oedo Line is also nearby. Otemachi is about 10 minutes away.
