Ōtsuka

Ōtsuka is a residential and commercial district in Bunkyo Ward that spreads across multiple blocks with homes, shops, restaurants, and schools integrated throughout. The area features a mix of building styles that reflect different periods of Tokyo's development.

Ōtsuka began as a quiet residential area and transformed during the post-war period into a integrated part of Tokyo's urban growth. This shift shaped how the neighborhood developed into its present form today.

The district holds several temples and shrines such as Fudeogawa Shrine that reflect traditional Japanese religious practice and architecture. These places shape how the neighborhood feels when you walk through it.

The area connects well to central Tokyo through several nearby train stations including Myogadani, Shin-Ōtsuka, and Gokokuji on different metro lines. These stations make it easy to explore other parts of the city and navigate the district.

The Bujinkan Hombu Dojo is located here, offering authentic traditional Japanese martial arts training in its original setting. This makes it a rare place where visitors can witness and learn from genuine practitioners of the craft.
