Nestled between Oshiage and Narihira Bridge, lies Oshinari-kun no Ie. This charming spot translates to “Oshinari-kun’s House.” Oshinari-kun is the mascot of this tourist information center and rest area near the Tokyo Skytree. He’s a cheerful character in a straw hat, often seen sporting overalls. He represents the local area, drawing his name from “Oshi” (Oshiage) and “Nari” (Narihira). Oshinari-kun no Ie welcomes visitors from across Japan, drawn to the iconic Skytree. Oshinari-kun no Ie offers not only tourist information but also embodies the revitalization of Sumida Ward.
