• Kiyosumi Shirakawa: Tokyo’s Hippest Downtown Neighborhood Tour
• Looking to start your Tokyo trip at a relaxed pace? Join me in Kiyosumi Shirakawa—an off-the-beaten-path district that’s still close to central Tokyo attractions. Discover a vibrant mix of modern coffee shops and galleries nestled among traditional family-run bars and old warehouses.
• On this leisurely morning tour, we’ll:
• • Stroll through Kiyosumi Gardens, one of Tokyo’s nine famous public gardens
• • Enjoy freshly brewed coffee and a light breakfast of your choice at the neighborhood’s first roastery and coffee shop
• • Indulge in a sweet or savory Japanese treat of your choice
• This is perfect for travelers eager to see a lesser-known side of Tokyo most tourists miss. I can’t wait to guide you through Kiyosumi Shirakawa’s hidden gems!

Our tour will start at Kiyosumi Teien, a traditional Japanese-style garden built by a feudal lord during the Kyoho era. I will explain some of the garden's key historic points and landmarks. Taking in this traditional garden may make you forget that you are even in Tokyo!
