About Nippori

Nippori is known as a district for those who love to pursue hobbies as a pastime. Fabric Street is one of the main draws, and is easily reached from public transportation. The Nippori Station is in the middle of the Nippori district of Arakawa, Tokyo in Japan. Although it is not as busy as the other stations in the area, it is one of the most beautiful. After dark, this is the best place to see Mount Fuji. Maybe that is why they named it Nippori because it means “where the sun sets.” It is actually one of the largest but the least populated stations in Tokyo, making it one of the best for tourists, so they do not have to deal with the crowds. 

Inside the terminal, you can enjoy shopping, eating, and just people-watching while waiting for your train. And just outside the station, there are hundreds of places to enjoy, like museums, parks, galleries, and shopping centers. Open-air markets and street vendors are abundant in and around Nippori, making it easy to grab some cool souvenirs while you are in town.

Some of the most popular attractions in the Nippori district include the huge shopping malls and centers where you can find hundreds of shops, large and small. With name brands you will recognize and local artisan craft stalls and kiosks, there is a little bit of everything to choose from. 

Fun Fact: The area around Nippori Station has hundreds of places you can buy cat items, and you will see quite a few real ones running around as well since cats are so popular there.
