If you like to experience traditional Japanese culture in Tokyo, living in Arakawa is your best bet! Arakawa, which means ‘raging river,’ is located north of Tokyo. Although the district does not have many well-known attractions, there are many nostalgic, old neighborhoods and parks worth visiting. Many seniors can be found living in Arakawa. However, this ward is a good place to live for younger generations as well because of the relatively low-rent apartment options.
