No.91 Yanaka(Japanese culture town ordinariness)
(It is the Tokyo guide to introduce by the image and the column).

Taninaka is the town which is left in the darkness of the color of the
Japanese culture. The subordinate temple in Ueno Kanei-ji was reared here
to the Kanei year (1624-43) and is Taninaka Teramachi's beginning and at
present, the temple which reaches several matters of 70, too, exists. After
that, by the redevelopment in Edo center, it was transferred to Taninaka,
Machiya was formed in Monzen at the temple and the temple in the vicinity
of Kanda became a resort with the call visitor and so on.
In case of Bakumatsu war in 1868, a lot of temples burned down but after
that, to be the past because it was reconstructed and Great Kanto Earthquake
and war damage weren't suffered but appearance are even now left. The appearance
of the foreigner excursionist, too, is seen and there are many persons
who take a walk through the town swingingly at one hand in the guidebook.
Taninaka cemetery which adjusted the part of Tennoji cemetery, Tokugawa
cemetery and so on to that by Taninaka cemetery government service place's
being the part of old Tennoji precincts the Meiji 5(1872) year is the beginning.
It is started as the public cemetery at Tokyo and it is counted by one
of 3 big cemeteries of Tokyo. It says that the cemetery user is about 6000
when the area is 100,000 m2. Widely in the cemetery, the route which was
minutely stored like the labyrinth is forming a cemetery. Not vulgarizing
and it is good that tombstone and a stone lantern with the previous moss
with the growth of equal to or more than 100 years and so on are naturally
put without the affectation, too. Tokugawa Yoshinobu and the celebrity
are sleeping.
