When visiting the Asakusa area of Tokyo, besides seeing Kaminarimon and Tokyo Skytree, I also highly recommend taking a walk along this lively waterfront street!
Stroll along the Sumida River and enjoy the pleasant river breeze. There are plenty of photogenic views along the way, as well as cafés, unique shops, and restaurants tucked beneath the elevated railway tracks, cleverly blending the atmosphere of Tokyo’s old downtown neighborhoods with a modern feel.
It’s especially pleasant to take a walk here early in the morning, when there are relatively few people. Take your time walking and taking photos, then find a café, sit down with a cup of coffee, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
