Central Market Adachi Shijo, Adachi, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market is of course very famous, but Adachi Fish Market, the only specialized marine products market in Tokyo, will not be crowded with tourists, and you can enjoy fresh seafood and the atmosphere of a vibrant market. And unlike the somewhat jaded and overburdened feeling at Tsukiji, the wholesalers who work at Senju market are very friendly. Please do not hesitate to talk to them! After building up an appetite at the market, we’ll head to the on-site cafeteria and enjoy some fresh and tasty local seafood. 60 minutes
Shibamata, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan Shibamata is a beautiful old-style town located on the banks of the Edogawa River in this northeastern part of Tokyo. Here you can immerse yourself in the pleasurable vibes of old Tokyo. 30 minutes
The Statue of Futen No Tora, Katsushika, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan For Japanese people, Shibamata is also the fictional home of “Mr. Tora” from the fictional "Otoko wa Tsuraiyo” movie series. We’ll walk by Mr. Tora's bronze statue just outside Shibamata Station. 5 minutes
Taishakuten-Sando, Katsushika, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan Along the approximately 200 meters from Shibamata Station to Shibamata Taishakuten, we’ll get to explore a remarkably old-fashioned main street, with Japanese sweets shops, buckwheat noodle shops, all crammed together in a bustle like no other. There are also river fish restaurants with specialties such as eel and carp, and so much more. To say it is a lively street would not do it justice, but it is not so in the Asakusa or Shinjuku sense. Here you can enjoy the bustle at a more human scale and still feel calm. 20 minutes
Shibamata Taishakuten (Taishakuten Daikyoji Temple), Katsushika, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan Amazing wood carved sculptures, covering the Lotus Sutra story, are tightly installed all around the main hall, and there is a stunning garden of ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arranging). The intricate, precise, and lively sculptures are wonderful works of art that are time immemorial. 40 minutes
Yamamototei, Katsushika, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan A two-story building in a combined style of Japanese and Western architecture, incorporating Western architectural elements into a tasteful shrine. The “Nagayamon” has an especially unique Western shape and style, and it is well worth seeking out. In the Japanese garden, there is the typical "Shogun Garden" design that uses a waterfall near the edge of the fence, with a dense green planting and a hill to make the waterfall look even more impressive and lush. The United States based Japanese garden specialty magazine "Sukiya Living" ranked this garden third best in Japan in its 2016 survey. This speaks to the very high reputation overseas as well. 30 minutes

This was one of the best experiences we had on our trip to Tokyo. We felt like we got to to experience authentic culture. Fumiko was very knowledgeable. The best part was the fish market. Highly recommend!

I was born and grew up in Tokyo but I had never visited both Adachi-Fish market and Shibamata. And, I felt these places are worth visiting not only for tourists from overseas but also for Japanese.
I have visited TSUKIJI & TOYOSU new fish market before, but people working at Adachi market are much more friendly and I could feel local atmosphere more than other big markets.
Also, Shibamata is the place almost all the Japanese people know because of super famous film "OTOKO wa TSURAIYO". But many of us have never visited there due to a little long distance from center of Tokyo. This is very important for tourists,too.
Because I see no any foreigners except our tour members from Germany and much less Japanese people comparing to ASAKUSA and other popular temple & Shrine even though Sibamata temple is also historically worth visiting place.
I highly recommend any tourists who are interested in local atmosphere and culture in Japan.
-Special Thanks,
