Adachi

Built around farming settlements and Senju-juku, a post station on the Nikkō Kaidō, Adachi grew into one of Tokyo’s northern special wards. The Arakawa River runs along its southern side, while the Ayase River crosses low-lying districts within the ward. Senju-juku was the first station on the Nikkō Kaidō route north from Edo, preserving a link to the travel network of the shogunal capital. Today, Adachi combines dense residential neighbourhoods, local shopping streets, riverside parks and extensive rail links, revealing a more everyday side of Tokyo beyond its best-known centres.
