Dive in Tokyo - Season 5 (2026)

We visit northern Tokyo's Nishiarai, which evolved from a farming village into an industrial district and is now mainly residential. But the local temple has always been at the heart of the community.

Koishikawa is a residential area in the city center that is home to a botanical garden and a temple associated with the Edo shogunate. As we explore, we discover a legacy of printing and bookbinding.

Shinagawa is home to a major train terminal used by 500,000 people a day. We explore a historic lodging area, an old garden with abundant nature, and more as we unravel 1,000 years of history.

We take a trip to Sapporo, the city that served as a base for the development of Hokkaido. Learn the history behind its central river and see how locals are now working to restore wild salmon runs.
