Ueno Sakuragi Atari is a collection of shops and community rooms, housed in 3 buildings from 1938, bringing the Old Tokyo feel to life. It is located in the Ueno Sakuragi area, just south of Yanaka Cemetery and north of Ueno park.
It is nice to see all the initiatives in Tokyo to protect and renovate older buildings. In the Yanaka neighbourhood, we have SCAI The Bath House opening in 1993, Hagiso in 2013 and this Ueno Sakuragi Atari building complex in 2015, which consists of three houses built in 1938. They have been renovated into shops and community spaces that can be used for events.
These buildings are a perfect example of the building style in the 1930s, with Japanese shikkui plaster walls (ecological nontoxic Japanese lime plaster) and with both Western and Japanese style rooms. Two of the buildings were specifically designed to offer panoramic views over the interior (formerly private) garden.
What makes this place special is that you can experience some traditional buildings that are actively being used, out in the open, for the community and the visitor to use. There are many old houses all over Japan that are turned into museums.
