Nihonzutsumi

Nihonzutsumi extends along the western bank of the Sumida River, featuring a mix of residential buildings and commercial establishments within Tokyo's urban landscape.

The district emerged during the Edo period as a protective embankment system, with its name directly referring to its function as a levee along the Sumida River.

The neighborhood maintains several traditional ryokan inns where guests experience Japanese customs through tatami rooms and communal bathing facilities.

The area connects to major transport lines through multiple stations, providing direct access to Asakusa, Ueno, and central Tokyo districts.

Local establishments serve Showa-era breakfast sets, including specific preparations of dried horse mackerel, rice, and miso soup following generations-old recipes.
