Hantei (はん亭)
[South of Rinkōji (#1) in the Yanesen Detail 2 map and very close to Nezu Station]

A restaurant in an older three-story wooden building which has been designated an important cultural property. This is the original 1917 building having survived the major fires that destroyed so much of Tokyo. Hantei specializes in kushiage, deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables, elevated to fine cuisine. For easy ordering they serve one set course, the ichinozen which is six skewers served in sequence, further rounds can be ordered for a greatly reduced price until you are full. You can then finish off the meal with optional rice and desert. There are seasonal variants in what they serve which adds an element of traditional Japanese dining. There are some English speaking staff and an English menu. Seating is either traditional on tatami on the second and third floors or chairs at tables on the first.

Nippori Station / Nippori Eki (日暮里駅)

Nippori Station has some interesting design elements which can be easily overlooked if you don't keep an eye out for them. These are all related to this being the closest station to Yanaka, which is also known as Neko Machi, Cat Town. The station has a cat mascot named Nyappori which was designed by a staff member in 2011. You may spot Nyappori on some of the stations signage. Other locations inside the station include Nyappori's face on a floor tile, another near some triangular designs, and a full image on a clear tile near the north ticket gate. Outside the station you can see that the kanji in the station name at the west exit near Goten Zaka includes design details such as at the top of the 暮 what looks like cat ears, and the 駅 looking like a cat paw print on the left radical and a tail ending on the right one
