The Greenmarket Sumida

A monthly market taking place on the plaza in front of the Sumida ward office, this one sees local craftspeople, shop owners and baristas from across the neighbourhood join farmers from all over Japan to show off their wares. These range from fresh veg and fermented products like miso to leather items and handmade candles, while around half a dozen food trucks cater to the needs of hungry shoppers. If you live in Sumida or Taito ward and spend more than ¥3,000 at the market, you can get your stuff delivered straight to your door.
