A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
荒川区
Tokyo’s Arakawa Ward offers neighborhood streets, a tram line and fabric culture. Choose Minowabashi or Nippori Fabric Town first; the entire river sharing its name is not a ward walking route.
This guide covers places within Arakawa Ward, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
