Throughout Tokyo's historic Sumida ward, the Onihei Jokei markers pay tribute to Shotaro Ikenami's iconic jidaigeki series, *Onihei Hankachō*. Installed in 2013, the sixteen vintage-styled posts commemorate key fictional clashes and real-life Edo-period lore involving the legendary investigator Heizo Hasegawa. Exploring this literary trail offers a charming, immersive stroll through the neighborhood's old-town atmosphere. It is an engaging treasure hunt for fans of classic Japanese historical drama and curious urban explorers alike.
