外人観光客が手にするガイドブックの一つにLonely Planet シリーズがあります。
このガイドブック(10th edition-Aug 2015)で日本橋がどのように説明されているかを見ると、「人形町」については、次のように述べられています。
NINGYOCHO
East of Nihombashi, towards the Sumida-gawa, is Ningyocho, a shitamachi (old downtown Tokyo) area well worth exploring for its small temples, shrines, craft shops, food stalls, and atmospheric places to eat and drink. Ningyo means doll - these and puppets were once made here when Ningyocho was a hub for the performance arts. Kabuki is still performed at Meiji-za（明治座；2-31-1 Nihonbashi-Hamacho) theater.
and you can view the dolls and puppets of Jusaburo Tsujimura at Jusaburo-kan (ジュサブロー館；3-6-9 Nihonbashi-Ningyocho).
しかし、この「ジュサブロー館」は、「東京人形町のアトリエは、2015年9月12日をもちまして、一般公開を終了させていただきました。 広島県三次市の【辻村寿三郎人形館】にて引き続き展示をしておりますので、どうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます」ということで、既に閉館され、跡地は居酒屋になっていました。
Zone in on Amazake Yokocho （甘酒横丁）a delightful shopping street lined with age-old businesses and named after the sweet, milky sake drink amazake; you can sample it at Futaba (双葉；2-4-9 Nihonbashi-Ningyocho), along with various sweet and savoury eats made from tofu.
Also along here is colourful crafts shop Yuma (ゆうま；2-32-5 Nihonbashi-Ningyocho).
West across NIngyocho-dori from Amazake Yokocho, you'll easily spot Tamahide (玉秀；1-17-1 Nihonbashi-Ningyocho) by the line of customers outside waiting for a space inside the restaurant which has been serving up its signature oyakodon (chicken cooked in a sweet soy sauce with eggs and served over a bowl of rice) since 1760.
A few blocks northeast from Amazake Yokocho, facing a neighbouring park, is Brozer' s Hamburger (2-28-5 Nihonbashi-Ningyocho), one of Tokyo's best burger joints.
