Azabu - A Tale of Slopes and Embassies

This time we visit Azabu, an area to the west of Tokyo Tower that is famous for being home to many embassies. Its international character has roots in the mid-1800s, when the first US legation in Japan was opened at a 1,200-year-old local temple. We visit the Embassy of Finland and explore a nearby shopping district known for its handmade foods and crafts. As we stroll up and down the hills and through the valleys in between, we get a feel for the terrain and discover the neighborhood's charm.
