Do you know Yotsuya Station in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo?
Yotsuya Station is on the JR Sobu Line and Chuo Line, and is also served by the Tokyo Metro, making it a very convenient station.
This time, we will introduce some recommended places around Yotsuya Station.
The famous hill from the movie “Your Name”
Do you know where we are? If you’ve seen the movie “Your Name,” you’ll probably think, “Ah!”
That’s right, this is the place that was the model for the hill where Taki-kun and Mitsuba meet!
This is what the slope looks like from the bottom.
It’s easy to follow if you’re heading for Suga Shrine. If you’re going to Yotsuya, be sure to call out the names of your loved ones!
By the way, the nearby taiyaki shop “Wakaba” is famous and certainly delicious, so if you like red bean paste, be sure to stop by.
Shinmichi Street: A row of deep izakayas（Pub）
Shinmichi Street, located just outside Yotsuya Station, is a very deep spot.
While the area is lined with large, Tokyo-like buildings, this street is the only one that feels like it was left behind from the Showa era, with its good old drinking district remaining intact.
From modern, trendy shops to good old-fashioned establishments, there are so many restaurants to choose from, so be sure to try one out and find one that suits your taste.
By the way, I used to go to a restaurant called Taiheizan often, so I’ll just introduce it to you.
Since it is an Akita restaurant, you can eat iburigakko（smoked daikon radish ）and kiritanpo, and the sake is also very delicious.

Cherry blossom trees along the outer moat of Edo Castle
The outer moat was built in 1636 by order of the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, as part of the final major repair work on Edo Castle. The area around the station was filled in and is now used as Gaigai Park and the grounds of Sophia University. The Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line opened between Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, and Yotsuya Station opened in March 1934.
Yotsuya Station is built inside the outer moat of Edo Castle, and the area along the moat is a park that is especially beautiful in spring when the cherry blossoms bloom.
The area between Ichigaya, the station next to Yotsuya, and Iidabashi is still filled with water, giving you a taste of what it was like when Edo Castle was still there. The contrast with the cherry blossoms is stunning.
There are plenty of other things to see at Yotsuya Station, so be sure to check it out.
There are other famous tourist spots around Yotsuya Station, such as the State Guest House and Kioizaka, which are too numerous to mention here.
If you have a chance to use the Chuo or Sobu line, please try it out.
