    Tokyo Sumida-ku Higashimukoujima 4-28-16
    A museum located close to Higashi-Mukojima Station in Higashimukojima, Sumida City, Tokyo. The museum opened in 1989 in celebration of the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Tobu Railway company. Visitors can learn about the Tobu Railway through displays of steam locomotives and other actual railway vehicles as well as interactive exhibits such as train driving simulators. There's also an area where you can see the Tobu Skytree Line, which travels right over the museum, up close.

    This was great especially on a rainy day. We caught the 39 bus which stops two minutes away. It is 200 yen to enter. We were there a couple of hours. There are lots of interactive exhibits. The signs...

    Tokyo Sumida-ku Yokokawa 1-16-3
    At the corporate museum in Yokokawa, Sumida City, Tokyo, a collection of materials related to the history and culture of the former monopoly of “tobacco” and “salt,” is displayed. It moved to the present location in 2015. On the third floor, the museum exhibits “tobacco” which was born in the Americas and spread to the world, as well as materials on the tobacco culture in the Edo period. You can learn about salt history and knowledge through exhibits and quizzes on the second floor. Several times a year, various exhibitions and special exhibitions focusing on tobacco and salt are held.

    This museum has something for everyone:art, science, history, objects. It is very interesting and extremely well presented. And only 100 yen! The salt exhibit should be interesting for children and...

    Tokyo Sumida-ku Mukoujima 1-4-5
    A Shinto shrine located in Sumida Park in Mukojima, Sumida City, Tokyo. The shrine was built in 860 to enshrine the god Susanoo no Mikoto. Today there are three principal deities enshrined in the shrine. It is believed that if you are sick, rubbing the same spot on the Nade-ushi (rubbing cow) statue on the shrine's grounds as the affected part of your body will cure your illness. On the final day of the shrine's annual festival in September, local neighborhood associations parade around with portable shrines and bring them onto the shrine grounds.

    Loved the combination of the nature walk yo the shrine, the interesting gifts to the Emperor along the way, the wooden doors at the temple/ shrine. Was all very tasteful and beautiful.

    Tokyo Sumida-ku Honjo 1-31-5
    A museum dedicated to displaying origami works located in Honjo, Sumida City, Tokyo. In addition to a permanent collection of origami art, the museum also holds origami classes and collects books and other materials on the art form. Finally, the museum sells origami paper as well as books and magazines published by the Nippon Origami Association and others.

    This was a highlight for my son, who loves origami and has many books about this. This is small and a little off the beaten path. There are numerous intricate examples on display. There’s also a...

    こちらは、東京スカイツリー駅近くの小梅児童公園近くにあります。 一般の事務所のような感じで分かりずらかったです。 中に入ると、屏風を当時の世相とともに年表風に紹介したパネルや、製作に使う「はけ」「鋲」「裁ち包丁」などの道具や金具が展示 されていました。

    This shrine in the Mukojima district of Tokyo’s Sumida City enshrines the deity Uganomitama-no-Mikoto, which is also the main enshrined deity of Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Jinja Shrine.

On the premises are many stone statues and stone monuments donated by the Mitsui family, starting with the albino fox stone statue on a pedestal upon which is written “Mukoudana.” Even now a regular festival is held at the shrine by the Mitsui Group four times a year.

    This is one of those places that if you are in the area, you should at least stop to look around. I was there on a weekend so it was pretty crowded, but worth stopping by.

    Tokyo Sumida-ku Higashi-mukojima 3-chome 5-2

    They have an annual festival in early June. Though its a small shrine, the festival is a great fun. Outside of the festival, its underwhelming, but you can see a traditional wedding once in a while.

    白髭公園と隅田川の間にある神社です。 漢字の治承の頃、源頼朝が関東下向の折、暴風雨に遭い、当社に祈願したと伝えられているが、御鎮座の年代は未詳。墨田の鎮守、船頭や荷船仲間に広く深く信仰されていた。明治五年に隅田川神社と改称されたとの事です。

    鉄筋コンクリートの寺院でしたが、入口の横に様々な展示があることで、その歴史を知ることができるのは良いと思いました。鶴屋南北の墓所や、鬼平犯科帳の舞台として描かれたことから、俳優の江守徹が記念碑を寄贈したりとかいろいろあるところが興味深いと感じました。

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.
