Looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo for Nostrasia! This is a series of notes with information on Tokyo to entice, support, and convince you to come and join us!
As opposed to the luxurious Hoshinoya Tokyo Japanese-style hotel shared in note nevent1qqs06755yec5dehv7jaycspr2hwa6z8qqptf8z2r5c53u953dhpam8cee8nk3, Sawanoya Ryokan is a family-run, modest ryokan that has been operating for over 70 years, and is located in the Nezu neighborhood of Bunkyo Ward, which is a part of Tokyo's "shitamachi" region.
"Shitamachi" is a Japanese term that refers to the traditional, downtown areas of Tokyo and other cities, known for their narrow streets, small shops, local markets, and close-knit communities.
Sawanoya Ryokan offers a nostalgic and authentic experience, providing guests with traditional tatami rooms, futon bedding, communal baths, and warm hospitality. One can explore the charming atmosphere of Nezu and the surrounding historic neighborhood.
Yanaka Ginza is a popular shopping street located within walking distance from Sawanoya Ryokan. It is a charming, pedestrian-friendly street, lined with numerous shops, eateries, and local vendors.
Their website has not been updated for many many years, but it works! You can also call to make reservations. At least one member of the family speaks English!

More #food recommendations for your stay in #Tokyo during #Nostrasia! In #Japan, most good restaurants specialize in the food that they serve, unlike their counterparts abroad.
This is my favorite #soba restaurant in Tokyo that serves homemade soba noodles, owned and run by a couple in the revitalized Yanesen neighborhood. The Yanesen neighborhood is composed of Yanaka, Nezu, and Sendagi, and offers a glimpse into old Tokyo (#shitamachi).
The #tempura here always features 2 seasonal items, and in this photo, they were chestnut and grape!!! The grape tempura was marvelous!
NOTE: No English menu in this restaurant. Go with a Nostrasia buddy who can read Japanese, or go to Google Maps and point at the photo of the dish you want to order! 🤭

Did you know that wagyu (和牛), what we know as Japanese beef/cattle ('Wa' means Japanese and 'gyu' means cow), can also be thought of as harmonious beef? 'Wa' does indeed refer to things Japanese, but the kanji 和 also means harmony. It's wonderful to think of what we eat as being harmonious!! Guess it makes sense that the Japanese way of being is represented by 和. 🙏
Come experience 和 in Japan when you come to #Nostrasia in Tokyo this November!
And come savor some wagyu in the land where it is born.
A very famous wagyu restaurant:
