Tateishi is a place where you can experience the vibe of Old Tokyo. Its name translates to “standing stone” after the stone that can be found at Tateishi Children’s Playground. According to stories, the stone came from Mount Nokogiri and has mystical powers. Over the years, people have chipped away pieces of it to serve as talismans so it is significantly smaller now, but it continues to be revered by locals.
This neighborhood is also well-known for motsu-yaki, which is grilled and skewered meat, and various restaurants serve this delicacy. Ladies traveling alone can get a drink at Tami-chan, which serves hearty food and drinks and is intended to provide a safe space for women.
Spending a holiday in the area will allow you to see a unique side of Japan. Scroll down to find the top minshuku stays near Tateishi, Japan, to experience Old Tokyo and its culture!
