Introduction
Adachi is located in the north of Tokyo. It is home to one of the Three Great Temples, Nishiarai Daishi, and many people visit the temple annually, especially on New Years. You can find many parks in the area such as Park of Living Things and Toneri Park. The Park of Living Things is an unusual hands-on zoo and park where visitors are allowed to interact with the animals. In addition, there is a greenhouse and Japanese garden if you enjoy green space. The annual Firework Festival is held in the summer with over 13,000 fireworks in the sky and attracts more than 600,000 visitors. The primary station here is Kita Senju, as it serves the most train lines and includes shopping and dining options. Families like to take kids to Galaxcity, an indoor play area with wall climbing, planetarium, and much more.
