Hi guys! Welcome to my Shibamata guide made in partnership with the Katsushika City Ward in Tokyo.
Shibamata is a traditional part of Tokyo that's pretty much off the beaten path compared to places like Asakusa, Kawagoe, and Yanaka Ginza. If anything, going to Shibamata gives you a glimpse at how life was like a few generations ago. Today, we explore this charming part of Katsushika ward together!
Our itinerary was as follows:
1) Yamamotokei
Tea and traditional Japanese sweets at a traditional tea house called Yamamoto-tei.
- It was once the residence that was converted into a tea house a few years after the after the great Kanto Earthquake of 1923.
- The sitting area looks out into a beautiful, award winning Japanese garden while the interiors boast of Western and Japanese interior design elements.
2) Yagiri no Wabash
After Yamamoto-tei we head over to Yagiri no Watashi. Before any modern infrastructure was developed, locals used to use this boat as a means of crossing the river. Nowadays it's more of a tourist spot than anything but it's still a fun experience to try.
3) Shibamata Taishakuten
Having finished our ride up and down the river, we walked over to Shibamata Taishakuten a temple that traces back to the 18th century. Its real name is Daikyoji Temple.
4) Shibamata Shopping Street
The path leading up to the temple is a winding shopping street filled with mom and pop shops selling traditional Japanese snacks from rice cakes to dumplings and candies. These also make great souvenirs since they are quite inexpensive.
5) Yamatoya
For lunch we had tempura at a 150 year old restaurant called Yamatoya. The staff were extra kind and spoke in English to us, had us film them preparing the tempura and overall it was such a pleasant experience. The tempura itself was crispy but tender and left me wanting more.
6) Takagiya Toho
Lastly, we ended our short trip to Shibamata by eating mugwort dumplings, a local specialty. Since Shibamata has a history of rice cultivation, the farmers used to mix it with homegrown mugwort. And the rest, as they say, is history.
One of the reasons why I think you should visit Shibamata is because it's very much a hidden gem in Tokyo. It's not far to get to, very walkable and gives you a local experience without the crowds. The locals are friendly and eager to share about their town.
Thank you to TESOL International Japan Co., Ltd., and Katsushika Ward for partnering with me on this video.

Is Kyoto as crowded as they say now? hehe
@@heidisarol yes it is. Lots of tourists.
@@mvccarlos Are the buses still ride-able? Or is it impossible to get on? huhu.
@@heidisarol yes but they get full in the afternoon by 4pm. For some reason the bus seemed extra full today.
Tis the season I guess 😭
This doesn't look like it's in Tokyo! So nice, also the Japanese subtitles are good for practicing Japanese reading 🤗
Right? Haha. Its very retro looking unlike Shibuya or Shinjuku!
Thank you so much! 💖😍

Went here in 2017(?) and we were literally the only foreign tourists, there were just mostly Japanese oldies there. Until now I don't really see it covered in Tokyo travel guides so yes, still a hidden gem.
Exactly!!! Its really a hidden gem. Howd you find out about it? 🤭💖
@@heidisarol I probably googled "old neighborhoods in Tokyo" or something, saw that it looked Kyoto-esque and just went haha
Haha I guess thats one way to find it! Thanks so much for sharing Katrina 😍💖
We have Shibamata on our plan for May but didn't know about the boat crossing. Did it run at specific times or just when there are enough people? Would it be possible to do it if you don't speak Japanese?
