Run by the Katsushika Tourist Association, Shibamata Tourist Information Center is located just a minute away on foot from Keisei Kanamachi Line’s Shibamata Station, heading towards Taishakuten. We recommend visiting here upon arrival in Shibamata.
Obtain various tourist pamphlets and receive information about Shibamata’s tourist attractions, in order to get a good grasp of its whereabouts and plan a route. The staff are all friendly, and there is always an English-speaking interpreter on hand to help.
Despite its small size, the center sells plenty of souvenirs. The selection ranges from goods based on the theme of Shibamata’s icon, Tora-san of “The Otoko wa tsurai yo (It’s Tough Being a Man)”, to traditional Japanese handicrafts such as the “Edo Kiriko” glass made locally in Katsushika City.
