Shinagawa Syukuba Fest.
the 24 (Sat.) and 25 (Sun) of September
Come and Join Us!!!
Syukuba means Accommodation.
Having a traveller's checkpoint in Edo period
(17th to 20th century), Shinagawa has been always
nice and warm to travellers.
As you know, there were many cosy inns here.
(still many!!! because it's very closed to Ginza or Asakusa.)
We commemorate every year the history of our old town
Shinagawa in a fun-making way.
