Traditional fabrics, old temples and theme park from the 1950s.

In Nippori, as in the nearby Ueno area, there is an atmosphere of yesteryear and the area has a more popular spirit than the other districts of Tokyo with ultramodern skyscrapers and metropolitan stimuli.

Those who love tailoring will fall in love with the Nippori Textile District, the kilometer-long street full of sewing shops and traditional fabrics and fabrics at a good price, both retail and wholesale. Nearby there is also the Arakawa Yuen, an amusement park for children, a zoo with pets and a water park all year round. For those who love the temples, instead, the Tennoji and, next to the Nippori resort, the Yanaka zone.
