What is Sumida-ku?

A town full of downtown atmosphere. Recently, it has become famous as a sightseeing spot, including the Tokyo Sky Tree.

Sumida-ku is located in the eastern part of Tokyo's 23 wards and has a population of approximately 270,000. It is home to tourist attractions such as the Tokyo Sky Tree and Ryogoku Kokugikan, and hosts the Sumida River Cherry Blossom Festival in spring, the Sumida River Fireworks Festival in summer, and the Hagi Festival at Mukojima Hyakkaen in autumn. I recommend it to anyone who wants to live in a town full of traditional culture, history, and downtown humanity and hospitality! I like retro-looking sundries and old-fashioned cafes, so on my days off I enjoy strolling around the Oshiage area.

Facts about Sumida-ku

• The height of Tokyo Sky Tree is 634m, which was certified by Guinness World Records as the "tallest tower in the world. Incidentally, the reason why the height was set at 634 m was because "634=Musashi (6=mu, 3=sa, 4=shi)" which is familiar to Japanese people and easy to remember.
• The basement of Ryogoku Kokugikan, the sacred site of sumo, is home to one of the largest yakitori factories in Japan, where more than 850,000 yakitori are produced for the January tournament.
• The oldest fireworks display in Japan is the "Ryogoku Fireworks" (present-day Sumida River Fireworks), which began in 1733.
