Katsushika Ward in Tokyo is located next to Adachi Ward. It also shares a border with Chiba Prefecture, separated by the Edogawa River that runs through the city. Katsushika Ward is a thriving city of industry, agriculture, and commerce, and Shibamata Taishakuten Temple is a popular tourist destination, attracting many visitors. The region's specialties are the sweet Senju leek and Kameido radish. Because of its thriving agriculture, many vegetables are shipped during harvest season. One recommended event held in Shibamata is the Shibamata Sakura Festival. Organized by the Shibamata Sakura Festival Executive Committee, the festival is lively with parades, street performances, and stalls. It takes place in April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, so be sure to visit.
