Sazae-san Walk in Sakurashinmachi – Tokyo’s Cozy Cartoon Town

#cityplaybook If you’re in the mood for a quiet, quirky stroll through Tokyo, Sakurashinmachi is a charming little stop—especially if you’re a fan of Japan’s beloved anime family, Sazae-san. The neighborhood has a relaxed, local vibe that makes you feel like you’re part of the community. I started my visit at the Hasegawa Machiko Art Museum, which celebrates the life and work of Sazae-san’s original creator. The museum is calm and colorful, with sweet little details for longtime fans. Next to the museum, you’ll find Sazae-san Park, complete with statues and nods to the characters. It’s small but adorable. Then I strolled along Sazae-san Street, where even the manhole covers and shop signs are themed—so fun to spot! Why I recommend Sakurashinmachi: ・It’s full of nostalgic charm, especially for Sazae-san fans ・A quiet Tokyo neighborhood perfect for a peaceful, themed walk 📍Sakurashinmachi, Setagaya City, Tokyo #sakurashinmachi #sazaesan #tokyowalks #animetown #hiddentokyo #hasegawamachikomuseum #tokyoneighborhoods #cartoonheritage #cityguide
