About Arakawa Ward
Arakawa Ward in Tokyo's northeast is named after the Sumida River that flows through the ward, which was once called the Arakawa River. Because this area once sat within Tokyo Bay, many shell mounds have been discovered here. During the Showa era, a company that produced kamishibai (paper theater) shows would ride bicycles selling candy while performing, creating a downtown vibe. Even today, this area retains the charm of the past and values human interaction. A highlight of the area is Shimogoindenbashi Bridge and the Train Museum. Located near Nippori Station, the overpass allows visitors to see around 2,500 trains passing by each day, making it a must-see for train enthusiasts.
