This long, narrow park connects Kinshicho Station to Tokyo Sky Tree. Walking along the river provides beautiful scenery. Depending on the season, it’s a good idea to bring insect repellent.

BERTH COFFEE ROASTERY HARU
It’s a small shop, but they serve delicious coffee and do their own roasting. On non-holidays, you can enjoy a leisurely visit. If it’s crowded, I recommend getting coffee to go and enjoying it on a walk.

KAMEIDOTENJIN
Tenjin-sama is famous for its wisteria trellises. If you want to see wisteria, aim for around April. The wisteria trellises can be viewed from above at the Taiko-bashi bridge on the approach to the shrine, and the Sky Tree can be seen in large scale beyond the wisteria trellises.

SATAKE SHOTENGAI
It is said to be the second oldest shopping street in Japan. It has a somewhat desolate atmosphere, which is rare in central Tokyo. However, there are some fashionable stores here and there. Look for cafes such as “229” and the meat shop “30-1 サンジュウ ヒク イチ (Sanju Hiku Ichi) “.

OKAZU YOKOCHO
You won’t find many stores where you can actually buy side dishes, but there are also miso and tsukudani (food boiled down in soy sauce) stores, giving the street a nostalgic old-fashioned impression. I recommend passing through here when strolling in Kuramae and Naka-Okachimachi.

SYURO
It is a store of wonderful household goods where each item is very carefully selected. Even if you have no particular purpose, it is worth a peek. It is a place you don’t often pass by, so if you find something you like, we recommend you buy it.
