    Tokyo Katsushika-ku Shibamata 7-10-3
    A temple of the school of Nichiren Buddhism in Shibamata, Katsushika City, Tokyo which was founded in 1629 during the Kan-ei period. As the Taishakuten faith increased during the Edo period, it became familiarly known as “Shibamata Taishakuten” and the number of visitors to the shrine increased together with faith in Koshin, “Koshin Shinko”. It is said that Saint Nichiren carved the principal object of worship at the temple, the deity, Taishakuten. In addition to the magnificent Nitenmon Gates at the Teishakuten entrance, Tamonten (Vaisravana) (Bishamonten), Jikokuten (Dhrtarastra), Komokuten (Virupaksa) and Zochoten (Virudhaka) are also present. There are many highlights such as the gardens and the large temple reception hall which is 495 meters squared (150 tsubo -Japanese unit of land measurement). It is famous also as the temple connected with Tora san’s movie “Otoko wa Tsurai yo”.

    I recommend visiting by train and walking up the main shopping street leading upto the temple - the shopping street is great - think wooden frames, calligraphy banners, and open store fronts - if you...

    Tokyo Katsushika-ku Shibamata 6-22-19
    This is a memorial hall that reproduces and exhibits the world and articles of the “Otoko wa Tsurai yo” (“It’s Tough Being a Man”) movies. In addition to the relocation of the Katsushika Shibamata dumpling shop “Kurumaya” which Tora-san loved, also on display are the contents of the trunk which Tora-san who loved travelling always had in his hand. There is a quiz corner related to the movies and a corner where you can appreciate famous scenes from the movie. From the rooftop’s Shibamata Park, it is possible for you to gaze at Shibamata Taishakuten and Edogawa riverbeds which are familiar from the movies.

    Tokyo Adachi-ku Nishiarai 1-15-1
    This temple of the Buzan sect of Shingon Buddhism is located in the Nishiarai district of Tokyo’s Adachi City, and is officially known as Gochisan Henjoin Soji-ji. It is said to have been founded in 826 and is considered to have begun when the monk Kukai (Kobo Daishi) visited Nishiarai and personally carved a statue of the eleven-faced Kannon, the principal object of worship in the temple, to help people that were worried about an epidemic that was going around, and also made prayers on their behalf. It flourished in the past as a temple for women to pray for protection against misfortune, and now as one of the three Daishi temples in Kanto it is bustling with visitors every year for hatsu-mode (the first visit to a shrine in the new year). From around early April there are approximately 100 types and 2,500 plants of botan (tree peonies) that bloom all over the temple grounds, and it is famous as a place to see botan.
  • Nigaoe Coin Laundry

    Tokyo Katsushika-ku Shibamata 1-43-1
    A laundromat adjacent to the south side platform of Shibamata Station on the Keisei Kanamachi Line. At first glance, it looks like any old laundromat, but inside you will find the walls and ceiling are covered with hand-drawn portraits. Most of the portraits are of politicians, entertainers, athletes, and other celebrities. The portraits have been drawn with a realistic touch. All of the portraits were created by the owner, who says he started making them so customers would have something to look at while they waited for their laundry to be done. Because of its distinctive appearance, the laundromat has been featured on television and in other media and has become locally famous.
  • Statues of Tora-san and Sakura
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Katsushika-ku Shibamata 4-8-14
    "These statues were modeled after Tora-san and Sakura of the film series ""Otoko wa tsurai yo"" (known as ""Tora-san"" in some territories), depicting protagonist Tora-san taking one last look at his hometown of Shibamata as he once again leaves to go wandering while his sister, Sakura, looks on. The statues stand in front of the main entrance of Shibamata Station on the Keisei Kanamachi Line. Consisting of 48 entries made between 1969 and 1995, the ""Otoko wa tsurai yo"" series is one of Japan's most celebrated movie properties. The statue of Tora-san was made in 1999 using funds collected by the local small business society, becoming a symbol of the area, but for years people called for a statue of his sister to also be placed in Tora-san's line of sight. This request was answered when a statue of Sakura was made in 2017. Sakura's pedestal is inscribed with a description of the two characters facing each other written by longtime series director Yoji Yamada."

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.
