SUMIDA-KU, Japan - EntSun -- Tokyo's downtown or Shitamachi region is renowned for its bohemian residents and its plethora of history. The popular Asakusa area – near Sensoji Temple in Taito-ward and TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN – the tallest free-standing structure in the world -- in Sumida-ward – are convenient places to experience the traditional culture of Tokyo's working-class people during Japan's Edo period (1603-1868). In Asakusa travelers can get a lesson in making traditional Edo glassware – Edo Kiriko. They can also visit traditional Japanese izakaya pubs, and historic shops along Sensoji's Nakamize-dori. At TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN, including TOKYO Solamachi, an expansive shopping mall under TOKYO SKYTREE tourists can stock up on souvenirs. Now, a new major multifaceted cultural shopping venue is scheduled to open under the area railway tracks in 2020, adding to the excitement in Shitamachi.

Get into the spirit of "shitamachi" at a new complex commercial facility/shopping venue under the elevated railway tracks
In Japan, many recent developments take advantage of the land under elevated railway tracks to create unique locations rooted in the urban landscape. In 2020, a new complex commercial facility/shopping venue (http://www.tobu.co.jp/foreign/en/pdf/20190704.pdf) will open under the railway linking Asakusa and TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN to provide a new look at the attractions of Shitamachi. The new project will include restaurants, shops, various entertainment options, and accommodation. All will be unified by the concept "Live to Trip," which expresses the developer's desire for guests to feel right at home. A new pedestrian bridge is also planned to link Asakusa and the TOKYO SKYTREE TOWN across the Sumida River, improving access between these two districts.
