Sugamo, Commercial district in Toshima, Tokyo, Japan.

The Jizo Dori shopping street extends for 800 meters along the Yamanote Line, featuring over 200 stores selling clothing and traditional foods.

Sugamo served as the first rest area on the Nakasendo highway after Nihonbashi during the Edo period, with two temples marking its boundaries.

The district maintains its role as a central shopping area for senior residents, displaying a different character from the youth-focused districts of Tokyo.

Visitors can reach the district by taking the JR Yamanote Line to Sugamo Station, with most stores operating between 10:00 and 18:00 daily.

The area specializes in red underwear garments, which local tradition associates with bringing good fortune to their wearers.
