Immerse Yourself in the Romance of Shitamachi at Katsushika Shibamata, selected as Japan’s Important Cultural Landscape.
Katsushika Shibamata has been chosen by the country itself as one of Japan’s iconic scenic spots. It’s also no exaggeration to say that Shibamata Taishakuten and its approach are iconic parts of Tokyo’s shitamachi (old town) areas that possess striking atmosphere and appearance. It’s also famous as the hometown of Tora, the protagonist of the film “The Otoko wa tsurai yo (It’s Tough Being a Man),” directed by Japanese film master YAMADA Yoji. There is so much to see in the area, such as the “Katsushika Shibamata Tora-san Museum” and “Yamada Yoji Museum” that bring you into the world of the film, as well as the elegant “Yamamoto-tei,” which was renovated between late Taisho era and early Showa era, and “Shibamata Taishakuten Daikyo-ji Temple,” an iconic landmark of the area. Every 60 days comes a “Koshin” day, during which Shibamata Taishakuten holds a temple festival, as it has done since back in the Edo period. The carrying of a matoi, or decorated standard, on “Yoi Koshin” (the eve of Koshin) is a must-see event. The large Koshin paper lanterns placed in front of Shibamata Taishakuten’s Niten-mon Gate add an air of elegance to the area.

帝釋天參道~不能錯過的高木屋老舖~他們家的~葛飾名物草だんご~真的，太好吃了
復古懷舊的老街，晴空塔和淺草距離不會太遠，時間充裕的話可以在安排進來。
身處在東京但又不像東京，古樸日式建築街道，極具庶民市井氣息，街邊的小吃也很具特色。
上百年的老街了，賣的小東西都很吸引人注意。
接近傍晚的時候去，氣氛環境很好參道，路上沒什麼人。
