In this immersive walking tour, Watasanpo takes us on a serene and insightful journey through the neighborhoods of Toyoshima and Nitta, located in the northeastern section of Kita Ward in Tokyo. Starting from Toyoshima 2-chome, the video captures the quiet charm of this residential district, showcasing everyday life and the calm streets away from the usual tourist paths. The walk continues through Toyoshima 3-chome and 4-chome, highlighting local businesses like Hollywood Cosmetics and a nostalgic shopping street, Toyoshima Chuo Street.

One of the highlights includes a visit to Toyoshima-yu, a traditional public bathhouse that exudes old Tokyo vibes. These sento, as they are known in Japanese, offer a unique cultural experience, preserving a way of life that dates back generations. As Watasanpo navigates through Toyoshima 7-chome, viewers are treated to views of the Sumida River before crossing the Shin-Toyohashi Bridge into a new area.

The second part of the walk leads into the Nitta area—an intriguing and somewhat mysterious neighborhood that evokes a futuristic yet peaceful ambiance reminiscent of Daiba. Along Nitta Gakuen Street and through the districts of Nitta 3-chome, 1-chome, and 2-chome, the journey reveals a mix of residential homes, local businesses, and even a cameo from a local cat. The area is characterized by its quiet streets and subtle, hidden charm.

Throughout the video, the 4K HDR visuals bring out every detail of Tokyo’s lesser-known spots, offering an authentic window into local life. The rich ambient sounds, such as the echoing kerosene sales melody, enhance the experience, making viewers feel as if they're walking right alongside Wataxxx. From traditional street scenes to modern residential developments, this video with its visual clarity and cultural depth is a must-watch for anyone interested in off-the-beaten-path Tokyo.
