Where Hilma would send you

1. 1 Kiyosumi Teien Attraction Sep 6
   Kiyosumi Teien

   ★★★★★ Hilma's pick

   A jewel of a Japanese stroll garden with a serene pond, stepping stones, and a pavilion perfect for sitting in the rain. Stones brought from all over Japan, koi rising to meet the rain. 150 yen for the quietest hour of your day.

   3-3-9 Kiyosumi, Koto City, Tokyo 135-0024, Japan
2. 2 Fukagawa Edo Museum Attraction Sep 6
   Fukagawa Edo Museum

   ★★★★★ Hilma's pick

   A full-scale indoor reconstruction of an 1840s Fukagawa street — dirt floor, dim lamplight, tenement houses, a sake shop. The guided tour makes the Edo period feel present, not historical. 400 yen, closed 2nd & 4th Mondays.

   1-3-28 Shirakawa, Koto City, Tokyo 135-0000, Japan

   
3. 3 Fukagawajuku Honten Restaurant Sep 6
   Fukagawajuku Honten

   ★★★★ Hilma's pick

   The definitive spot for Fukagawa-meshi — clam and green onion miso soup over rice, exactly how it was eaten a hundred years ago. A hot bowl on a rainy day is one of Tokyo's best meals. Closed Monday.

   1-6-7 Miyoshi, Koto City, Tokyo 135-0032, Japan
4. 4 Fukagawa Fudō-dō Attraction Sep 6
   Fukagawa Fudō-dō

   ★★★★ Hilma's pick

   A Shingon temple from 806 CE with extraordinary dragon ceiling paintings. The weekly goma fire ritual is free, ancient, and genuinely powerful.
