Negishi

Negishi stands at the intersection of traditional residential areas and commercial zones, featuring narrow streets lined with local shops and residential buildings.

The district emerged during the Edo period as a residential extension of the growing metropolis, developing from agricultural land into an urban neighborhood.

Local residents maintain yearly neighborhood festivals that bring together families for traditional dance performances and food preparation celebrations.

The district connects to central Tokyo through multiple bus routes and provides easy access to nearby Ueno Station for rail transportation.

The district maintains several small family-owned workshops that continue to produce traditional Japanese paper products using centuries-old techniques.
