Jūjō, Tokyo

Jūjō, Tokyo

is a working class district of Tokyo Japan about 10 minutes north of Ikebukuro by train. It is serviced by the Saikyo Line which stops at Jūjō Station.
It is particularly well-known for the long serpentine shopping arcade known as Jūjō Ginza, very close to the main entrance/exit of Jūjō Station.

At first glance Jūjō seems a run-down place but a real sense of community thrives here, evidenced by the large number of traditional shops, small scale public baths (sentō) and enthusiastic festivals.
