Fukagawa, Historical district in Koto, Japan.
The streets of Fukagawa feature traditional wooden houses along canals, creating a network of waterways through the neighborhood.
After the Great Fire of Meireki in 1657, Buddhist temples relocated to Fukagawa, transforming it from a small fishing village into a temple district.
The district maintains its position as a center for traditional entertainment, with local geisha performances continuing the customs from the Edo period.
The neighborhood connects to central Tokyo through Monzen-nakacho Station, serving both the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line and Toei Oedo Line.
Fukagawa established its reputation as the first location in Edo where female geisha performed, marking a shift from male to female entertainers.
