Shibamata is a nostalgic old-Tokyo quarter around Taishakuten temple, whose halls are covered in extraordinarily detailed wood carvings, reached along a retro shopping street of sweet shops unchanged since the Shōwa era. The grounds are free; the carving gallery and garden charge a small fee. Famous as the setting of the Tora-san films.
