Located near Ryogoku Kokugikan, the museum has been popular since its opening in 1993 as a place to reflect on the history and culture of Edo Tokyo and to consider the future of the city and people's lives. Many foreign tourists visit this facility to enjoy learning about the city, its culture, and the lives of the people of Edo Tokyo.

Well worth a trip - lovely exhibition, amazing building. I spent around 3 hours looking at the various displays. Truly fascinating and gives a great understanding of the Edo period. Staff were...

Tokyo Sumida-ku Yokoami 1-3-28

Called the Ryogoku Kokugikan, this is widely known as a venue for sumo competitions. It can accommodate more than 10,000 spectators and hosts various events besides sumo including pro-wrestling, boxing and concerts. Inside the venue’s shop visitors can purchase sweets and original merchandise featuring sumo motifs even when an official sumo tournament is not being held.

This is the center of the Sumo Universe. Best venue to watch Sumo. The seating is traditional Japanese downstairs and western actual chair seats upstairs. If you enjoy being folded up like a lawn...

Tokyo Sumida-ku Yokoami 1-2-15

The Tokyo Mizube Cruising Line is a water bus that travels along the Sumida River, Arakawa River and Rinkai areas. It offers various courses including not only the standard cruises but event and charter cruises. The “Asakusa-Odaiba Cruise” which tours from the Asakusa area to the Rainbow Bridge and Odaiba area is popular for viewing the Senbonzakura (thousands of cherry trees) in Sumida Park in the spring season, while the night cruise that allows guests to take in Tokyo’s splendid night scenery is recommended for dates.

Took the trip from Asakusa to Hamarikyu Gardens. Its a goid way to get there, but the fitter on a less wet day could was along the river. The scenery is uninspiring and going out the commentary was...

Tokyo Sumida-ku Ryougoku 2-8-10

A Pure Land Buddhist temple founded in 1657 which was started as a burial mound created on land gifted by the then-shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna to inter the countless, unidentifiable bodies of people who died in a great fire. Closely affiliated with the common people throughout its history, even today the temple is still beloved by many.

Kameido Tenjin Shrine

Travel / Tourism

Tokyo Koutou-ku Kameido 3-6-1

This shrine located in the Kameido district of Tokyo’s Koto City venerates the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane. It is also called Tozaifu Tenmangu in respect to Kyushu’s Dazaifu Tenmangu. As Michizane is a god of scholarship, the shrine is popular with students preparing for examinations in the winter. On the premises are many spots related to Michizane and Dazaifu Tenmangu such as fude-zuka (mounds built to hold a service for worn-out writing brushes) and shingyu (divine oxen). Famous for its flowers that bloom in different seasons, it has a wisteria festival from the end of April and is the best place to see wisteria in Tokyo where visitors can view the flowers all over the grounds. Along the path to the shrine from Kameido Station, the town streets overflow with the atmosphere of Tokyo’s shitamachi (working class towns).

Tokyo Sumida-ku Yokoami 1-3-28 (Kokugikan 1F)

This museum is located within the Ryogoku Kokugikan, and was created to gather and preserve materials related to Japan’s national sport of sumo. The woodblock prints, banzuke (official listings of rank), and ceremonial aprons are sure to delight not only sumo fans but foreign visitors and children alike. In addition to exhibits that change at a pace of six times per years, photos of yokozuna (grand champions) adorn the museum as a permanent exhibition. Admission to the museum is free (though during the three Grand Sumo Tournaments held in Tokyo annually the museum is open only to people actually attending the tournament).

My girlfriend wanted to see the famous Sumo museum, so we made a special effort to go out to Sumida on our last day in Tokyo. Took us at LEAST an hour to find the place - not even the locals seem to...

Tokyo Koto-ku Kameido 4-18-8

"A seven-minute walk from Kameido Station on the JR Chuo-Sobu Line. This tourist information center and local specialty product showroom shop was opened in 2013. The estate which once stood here was nicknamed the Kameido Umeyashiki (""Kameido Plum Estate"") in the Edo period after its beautiful plum tree was featured in numerous ukiyoe prints and it became a renowned sightseeing destination. The facility which stands here today serves as a center for sharing with visitors the culture and history of Edo, Japanese Shitamachi working class neighborhoods, and stylish Kameido. Inside, you can purchase famous Kameido products and souvenirs from across Japan, or bring some food into the adjoining cafe space to enjoy. The facility is decorated with Edo kiriko glass and ukiyoe prints and holds local citizen events, traditional rakugo comedic storytelling performances, and a variety of other entertainments for visitors to enjoy."

亀戸駅から徒歩5分。明治通りと蔵前橋通りの交差点角にある大きな櫓が目印。江戸時代、「梅屋敷」と呼ばれていた商人の別荘があったことから名付けられたとのこと。蔵造り風の2棟の建物があり、福亀館では亀戸の物産品販売、文芸館では江戸切子の展示が行われている。

Tokyo Areas

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
