By magwalk

This immersive 4K walking tour video takes viewers through the heart of Tokyo’s Kita Ward, focusing on the vibrant neighborhoods of Higashi-Jujo and Jujo. The journey begins along the bustling Higashi-Jujo Shopping Street (東十条商店街), a lively area known for its mix of traditional storefronts, local eateries, and distinctive Tokyo atmosphere. As the walk continues, you’ll experience the Higashi-Jujo Ginza (東十条銀座), a popular commercial strip often frequented by local residents for daily shopping and dining.

The route meanders through the Kamiya 1-chome residential area, offering a glimpse into local Tokyo life away from the main thoroughfares. There is a return to Higashi-Jujo Ginza, as well as a detailed look at the surroundings near Higashi-Jujo Station (東十条駅), including both the South and North exits. The Asahi Supermarket and nostalgic capsule toy machines (retro gacha-gacha ガチャガチャ) stand out as highlights that blend modern living and retro charm.

Later, the walk explores Jujo Central Shopping Street (十条中央商店街) and Jujo Ginza (十条銀座), famous shopping streets that are lively hubs filled with diverse small businesses and local flavor. An additional stop at Fujimi Ginza introduces yet another example of Tokyo’s dense, unique shopping arcades. The video also captures more intimate scenes—a cat crossing the street, a house covered in lush plants, and the subtle slopes of Shakujii Slope (石神井坂)—which round out this authentic depiction of everyday Tokyo neighborhoods.

Higashi-Jujo and Jujo provide prime examples of Tokyo’s enduring shotengai (traditional shopping streets) culture, where independent retailers, local grocers, and street food sellers create a distinct city personality. These areas, located in Kita Ward, are easily accessible from Higashi-Jujo Station on the JR Keihin-Tohoku Line, making them worthwhile spots for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path Tokyo walking experience.
