    Tokyo Bunkyou-ku Sendagi 2-chome
    Dangozaka is a hill in Tokyo’s Bunkyo City that slopes downwards to the east between the Sendagi 2-chome and Sendagi 3-chome neighborhoods. There are two explanations as to how the hill got the name Dangozaka (“Dumpling Hill”). One explanation is that there used to be a dumpling shop at the bottom of the hill; the other is that people who slipped while walking down the hill in the rain when it was slippery used to roll down the slope like dumplings. Dangozaka has been featured in many literary works, including “Seinen” by Mori Ogai, “Ukigumo” by Futabatei Shimei, and “D-zaka no Satsujin Jiken” by Edogawa Ranpo. Several famous people lived in the area at the top of the hill, including Natsume Soseki, Takamura Kotaro and Mori Ogai. The road at the bottom of the hill continues onwards towards the Yanaka district.

    Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Kikuicho
    "A slope passing to the southeast of Kikuicho's Raikoji Temple starting at Waseda Station on the Tozai Line. Natsume Soseki was born in the neighborhood in 1867. It got its name from his father, Naokatsu, an important landowner who took to calling it by his own name. This eventually caught on and became official. Towards the Ushigome Health Center you can find the site of Soseki Sanbo, where the author spent the later years of his life. It later became a municipally run apartment building, and today there's the small Soseki Park there. Its ""Neko Zuka (cat mound),"" a memorial to deceased cats, dogs, and pet birds, was installed together with a bust of Soseki."

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
