Preface

The city of Sumida is located in northern Tokyo and has a long history as a fine residential area. The residents of this Edo-era city have traditionally enjoyed the warmth of a close-knit community.

Today, an increasing number of foreign nationals are coming here to visit, live or work. This guide has been prepared to provide you with an introduction tour city and the information you will need to make life in Sumida easier.

The world we live in today is rapidly shifting from a world of international friendship to one of international cooperation and further to a society without borders.

We sincerely hope the publication of this booklet is befitting the current trend of creating a new society and will help you in your daily life.
