About Senju
Where to stay in Senju
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Senju keeps one fixed address for a visitor, and that is 横山家住宅, the house the record names inside a district otherwise given over to ordinary Tokyo streets. Places to sleep are few. A traveller who books in Senju is choosing quiet ground and a commute into the wider city, because the district itself carries no catalogued cluster of museums, theatres or shopping streets to walk between.
Rooms near 横山家住宅 suit anyone content to treat Senju as a base and to spend the daylight hours elsewhere in Tokyo.
About Senju
What are the main landmarks in Senju?
One house carries the whole list. 横山家住宅 is the single site catalogued in Senju, and the record adds no museum, no shrine and no second monument beside it, leaving the district's visitor list exactly one entry long. The rest is street. Anyone counting landmarks in Tokyo finds them in other wards, while Senju holds its one house and the working blocks that surround it.
What is the history of Senju?
History gives Senju only a few lines. Senju carries no charter year and no founding date in the sources that describe it, so the house 横山家住宅 stands as the only survival the district can put in front of a visitor. Behind that house, the paper trail ends.
Whatever the ground held before Tokyo grew across it, the surviving account of Senju names one house and nothing standing around it.
Where is Senju?
Senju spreads across residential ground in Tokyo, a temperate corner of the Northern Hemisphere, and the house 横山家住宅 marks its single named point.
