Where you’ll be

Katsushika-ku, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan

You’ll be staying in Katsushika, a peaceful, residential area in Tokyo known for its local charm and laid-back vibe. It’s a great spot to unwind after exploring the city. It's quiet, safe, and walkable, with everything you need close by. ✨

Start your day with a relaxing stroll along the Edo River, browse local supermarkets and bakeries, or enjoy a slow coffee at a neighborhood café.

The area is full of hidden gems like "Kanamachi-Yu" a retro sento bathhouse with a Mt. Fuji mural, "Taishakuten Sando", a charming shopping street that feels like a quieter, less crowded version of Asakusa.

Just beyond it, you’ll find "Shibamata Taishakuten", a beautifully preserved Buddhist temple known for its intricate wood carvings, peaceful grounds, and rich history.

Check out "Yamamoto-tei" as well. It's a beautifully preserved 1920s Japanese home with a serene garden and tearoom, just a short walk or bike ride away. There's also Shibamata

🚉 Easy Access to Major Spots
Kanamachi Station (JR & Keisei Line) is just a 6-minute walk, with quick connections to Asakusa, Ueno, Skytree, Akihabara, and even Disneyland. Nearby transfers also take you to Narita and Haneda Airports with ease.

🍜 Local Eats You’ll Love
One of the highlights of staying here? The food! From family-run ramen shops and cozy izakayas to fresh sushi and crispy tempura, there’s something delicious on every corner. We’ll include our favorite recommendations in your welcome guide.
