Have you ever heard of Fukagwa?
If you are interested in downtown and/or the road less traveled, I strongly recommend you to go there.
They hold Fukagawa fair three times a month (1st, 15th and 28th of each month).
On 1st June and on 28th June, we went there with our guests.
On 1st June, 3 guests joined our tour.
And, on 28th June, 13 guests joined our tour.

We browsed around in street stalls that come up only on fair days,
visited Tomioka Hachiman Shrine and Fukagawa Fudo Temple.
If you are a big fan of sumo, you might enjoy Tomioka Hachiman.
It has
handprint of sumo wrestlers (much bigger than mine),
stone monument all the names of Yokozuna (the title given to the strongest sumo wrestlers) on it,

huge portable shrines (the below is heavier one),

As for Fukagawa Fudo Temple,
There are a lot of statues in the temple.
Unfortunately, taking photo is prohibited inside the temple, so we cannot show you how the inside of it is.
It means that you need to go there if you are attracted.
The picture below is Kiyosumi Garden (the Japanese garden located near from Fukagawa).
We haven't been there in these tours, but if you feel tired owing to much sightseeing, why don't you go there and take a rest.
It is the very place to make you relax and take a nap or siesta.
