Hi, I’m Tabi!
Koto offers waterside scenery, gardens and neighborhood history in eastern Tokyo. This guide focuses on Kiyosumi and Fukagawa; treat Toyosu as a separate outing.
This guide covers places within Koto Ward, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Three places to begin
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01
A first-visit stop
Kiyosumi Gardens
清澄庭園
A Japanese garden of ponds, stones and trees. The photograph shows the Ryotei across the water; garden admission does not automatically include building use. Watch your footing on stone paths and beside water.
Getting there Approach the garden entrance from Kiyosumi-Shirakawa station
A shrine in Monzen-Nakacho offering a view of local worship traditions. The 2015 evening photograph does not guarantee current lighting or nighttime access. Events can change visitor routes.
Getting there Check the shrine approach from Monzen-Nakacho station
A museum introducing Edo-period neighborhood life through reconstructed displays. These are exhibits, not an unchanged original street. Check current exhibitions and closure information.
Getting there Approach from the Kiyosumi-Shirakawa station area
Fukagawa-meshi combines clams and rice, with versions including broth poured over rice or rice cooked with clams. Preparation and ingredients vary; check the shop’s description.
Try Kiyosumi-Shirakawa station → Kiyosumi Gardens → the museum area, checking each venue’s entry rules. Save the shrine for a separate Monzen-Nakacho visit.
