Its main attraction is Jizo-dori Shopping Street, a lively arcade lined with traditional shops selling red underwear for good luck, herbal remedies, and local snacks like salt-pickled plums. The area is famous for Togenuki Jizo, a temple where visitors pray for healing, and the nearby Rikugien Garden provides a serene escape with its classic Japanese landscape. Sugamo's retro vibe, friendly locals, and affordable eateries make it a unique destination for those seeking authentic Tokyo culture away from the crowds. It's particularly popular among seniors, but all ages will enjoy the warm atmosphere and the chance to explore a less touristy side of the city.",[10,13],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","110",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","119",[17,20,23,26,29,32,35],{"key":18,"value":19},"Do I need a visa?","Visa requirements vary by country; many nationalities get 90-day tourist visa on arrival.",{"key":21,"value":22},"What language is spoken?","Japanese; English is not widely spoken, but signs often have English.",{"key":24,"value":25},"Is credit card accepted?","Many shops and restaurants accept credit cards, but carry cash for smaller vendors.",{"key":27,"value":28},"What is the currency?","Japanese Yen (JPY).
