The Captain Tsubasa Pilgrimage: A Katsushika Statue Walk
The Captain Tsubasa Pilgrimage: A Katsushika Statue Walk
Captain Tsubasa’s creator hails from Katsushika in north-east Tokyo — and the ward honours him with a trail of bronze statues you can walk in an afternoon.
In Katsushika, Tokyo — hometown of creator Yōichi Takahashi — nine bronze Captain Tsubasa statues are dotted between Yotsugi and Tateishi stations on the Keisei line. The walk connecting them is an easy, flat afternoon, and the area is reachable in about 15 minutes from Asakusa, making it simple to add to a Tokyo itinerary. ⚠ Statue locations and access can change — check a current map before you go.
1. The big picture
A relaxed, free walk through football-manga history.
This is one of Tokyo’s most accessible pilgrimages — free, flat and family-friendly.1 For Captain Tsubasa fans it’s a chance to meet the characters in the creator’s own neighbourhood.
2. The statue trail
The nine statues are spread between Yotsugi and Tateishi stations in Katsushika, the ward where Yōichi Takahashi grew up.1 Walking the route connects the figures across quiet residential streets — an easy, enjoyable couple of hours for fans of the series.
3. Fitting it into Tokyo
Katsushika is reachable in roughly 15 minutes by train from Asakusa on the Keisei line, so the walk pairs naturally with a day around Asakusa, Senso-ji and the Sumida river.1 Pick up a current statue map, wear comfortable shoes, and you can comfortably do the trail and still see central Tokyo the same day. ⚠ Respect the residential setting and keep noise down.
