Overview of your Tokyo tour:

Katsusika is on the east end of Tokyo and it's widely known as shitamachi : Tokyo's old residential area full of warmth from local people and nostalgic feeling of Showa-era (1926-1989). On this tour, you can explore the Katsushika area by visiting truly local places such as Shibamata, Taishakuten Temple, Yamatoto-Tei, Yagiri-No-Watashi, the Edo River, and Mizumoto Park. This tour is more laid-back and is perfect when you have completed visiting Tokyo's must-go places and have one more free day in Tokyo because you'll be able to see how local people in the suburb of Tokyo are spending time. I grew up near the area and am happy to show you around!
