Nihonbashi, the starting point of Japan’s national routes. Someday, if the expressway running above it is removed, I think the kirin statues will look even more impressive.

A wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) shop facing the street at COREDO Muromachi. It is a Kyoto confectionery shop founded in Kyowa 3 (1803).

Since it’s a walk around Nihonbashi, treat yourself to a luxurious lunch at Nadaman. It will be fairly pricey, but if you go to the department store restaurant floor, you can drop in quite casually. A meal you can savor slowly, dish by dish, makes a wonderful reward for yourself.
Popular for its cloud-shaped sweets. You can relax at the terrace seating while looking out over Nihonbashi’s beautiful street. Inside, you can also buy sandwiches and souvenirs, so I think it’s fun even if you just drop in briefly.

A cafe where you can enjoy authentic and delicious coffee. The exterior of the small building is a bit confusing, but once you enter, you will find the interior to be lovely. The seating is arranged in an interesting way.
A park along the Sumida River. It is located just past Amazake Yokocho, heading toward the Meiji-za Theater. The tree-lined avenue at the entrance is very beautiful. However, the park is not very large, since the site is occupied by a sports field and other facilities of the ward. For a short break.
