Explore the neighborhoods of Kiyosumi Shirakawa and Monzen Nakacho, two old “downtowns” on the eastern side of the river.  Kiyosumi has a reputation as a “coffee town” – learn about the cafes that have opened their doors here in the past few years and get a caffeine-fix in one of them! Wander through a gorgeous traditional garden and a fascinating, hands-on museum that recreates life in the Edo Period, and catch a unique Buddhist ceremony (time permitting) at a historic temple.
