🏮 Tokyo's Hidden Gem: "Shibamata Station"
In the modern era, cultural heritage becomes increasingly precious. Surrounding Tokyo, there's a super niche old street that's a must-visit. This street isn't long, but it's filled with Japanese-style architecture and a plethora of old shops. As soon as you step out of the station, you're embraced by a strong sense of Showa-era Japan, making it the perfect place to experience traditional Japanese culture and history! 📍 Shibamata Station 🚃 Take the train to "Shibamata Station" and get off. 🕐 Tour duration: 2 hours~ Recommended spots to visit 👍 (all within walking distance): ✅ Shibamata Station: Right outside the station, there's a statue of the protagonist from the movie "Tora-san," which is very interesting and full of old-fashioned charm. ✅ Shibamata Toy Museum: The first floor has many retro snacks, and the second floor is a paid toy exhibition area, 💰200 JPY per person. The entrance is perfect for photos; I love this Japanese retro style, as if I've stepped into a Showa-era movie. ✅ Taishakuten Pilgrimage Path: This retro old street is lined with old shops and restaurants, selling various souvenirs and collectibles. There's also the old shop Takigawa-ya, the prototype for the movie "Tora-san," with well-preserved retro buildings that are a pleasure to explore. 📝 Small tips: It's quite suitable to visit on a rainy day, as it adds to the atmosphere! You can go in the afternoon around three or four o'clock, but be aware that many shops close around five in the evening, so plan your shopping and dining early. #OffTheBeatenPath #CulturalLandmarks #UrbanMemory#Tokyo #JapanTravel #ShowaRetro #StreetExploring
