Azabu

in Tokyo
Portrait

Embassies and low houses in the same lanes, on ground too hilly for the grid that covers flatter Tokyo, so the streets wander and the addresses are famously hard to find. It is where the city's foreign money has lived since the Meiji legations were built here, and the pattern has not changed.

This is a quarter, not an entry in the atlas. It resolves upward to the city that holds it.
