Where to stay in Kanamachi
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Bookings for Kanamachi resolve to Katsushika, because the district is an address on a map rather than a market of its own with rooms attached to the name. Aoto and Horikiri behave the same. Nothing separates the three at the point of booking, so the useful question is which end of Katsushika suits the days planned and whether the evening trip back is worth any saving.

About Kanamachi
What are the main landmarks in Kanamachi?
Kanamachi lists no sights. The record gives the district a name in two scripts and a parent city, which is the whole of it, and a visitor arriving expecting a museum or a temple will find the day better spent elsewhere in Katsushika. Kanamachi is the written form.
Aoto and Horikiri complete the city's district list, and none of the three carries the kind of anchor that would organise an afternoon around it.
What is the history of Kanamachi?
The name is the oldest thing on file. Kanamachi is what the district answers to in Japanese, and the record sets against it no charter year, no earlier municipal status, and no founding event of any kind. Katsushika supplies the frame instead.
Whatever preceded the present city belongs to Katsushika's own account, and Kanamachi enters that account as one name among several rather than as a story told separately.
Where is Kanamachi?
Katsushika contains Kanamachi and the districts of Aoto and Horikiri, all of them within Tokyo Prefecture in Japan.
