Let's take a walk around Fukagawa area !

Spring is one of the best seasons to do something in Japan since it’s neither too hot nor too cold. Why don’t you take a walk in best season in Japan? Well, I highly recommend that you take a walk around Fukagawa area, Koto-Ward, Tokyo. 






These days this area turned cool spot! Former warehouses were reborn as cool shops, restaurants, cafes and the like. 

Stylish ones opened one after another in this area recently. Actually, since the early 17th century, this area has developed as a warehouse district and residential area of common people, and flourished well. 


Nowadays, these shops and cafes quietly have been popular among Tokyoites. So it must be fun to make a tour of cool ones in comfortable climate in Japan!

Also, I recommend that you visit Fukagawa Edo Mueum if you would like to experience the atmosphere of this area 200 years ago. You can enjoy cool spots now and the past, and must be able to get good memories of Tokyo. So let’s take a walk around Fukagawa area!                   by K.E

Wisteria Festival at Kameido Tenjin shrine

Wisteria Festival at Kameido Tenjin shrine is very popular.  It is held from late April to the early May (around "Golden Week").  There will be full of Lavender colored flowers at the shrine, and it is really beautiful especially when they are dangled from wisteria trellises.








At the pond, you can also find many small tortoises.  "Kameido" means  "the door of tortoises," so they keep tortoises there.















You can enjoy the view of wisteria with Tokyo Skytree! 
The nearest stations are Tokyo Metro Hanzomon line "Kinsicho," JR Sobu line "Kinshicho" and "Kameido."  From Tokyo or Akihabara, I recommend you to get off at Kinshicho since you can watch Tokyo Skytree while walking to Kameido Tenjin shrine.
