Tokyo Travel: Kanda. Kanda (神田) is a city district of Tokyo, northeast of the Tokyo Imperial Palace.
It is not a prime tourist district, but more of a typical local district with residential areas and numerous universities. Kanda has traditionally been an academic center, and is therefore frequented by young people. It used to be the site of a Confucian school which is survived by the Yushima Seido, a shrine dedicated to the great Chinese philosopher. Nevertheless, the district offers several interesting neighborhoods, such as the Ochanomizu musical instrument area, the Jimbocho book area and the famous electronics and anime mecca Akihabara.
