Shitamachi Yoitoko

Cooking classes are the bread and butter (or rice and seaweed) of Shitamachi Yoitoko and visitors can choose from among four menus. The tempura and soba menu and okonomiyaki options are crowd pleasers, while the handmade udon – served in combination with steamed egg custard and easy-to-make traditional sweets – is one of the more unique dishes on offer. The noodles themselves may be unremarkable, but the traditional method of preparation involves stomping on the dough multiple times (in a sanitary manner, of course) and carefully slicing it into strips. Uchiyama also offers a sweets-only menu, where participants whip up various rice-flour treats such as shiratama dango (white rice flour dumplings) or sweet mochi. Most classes end with a tasting hour, where participants get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Those who participant in the udon class even get to take home the extra dough or noodles, as well as a pair of chopsticks.

Edo-Tokyo Museum

The Tokyo Metropolitan Edo-Tokyo Museum opened its doors in March 1993 as a space to reflect on the history and culture of Edo-Tokyo and envision the city and life of the future. Housed in a unique building modeled after an elevated-floor type warehouse, the museum has been a landmark and popular tourist attraction in Tokyo since its opening. The permanent exhibition, showcasing original objects and replicas, offers visitors a journey through the 400-year history of Edo-Tokyo since Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum holds special exhibitions at the first floor gallery five to six times a year and carries out various other events, including lectures and workshops on the history and culture of Edo-Tokyo. ※As part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, Edo Tokyo Museum will suspend or cancel museum-organized exhibitions and other events from April 25 (Sun) to May 31 (Tue).

When we went, we chose a Saturday to see the live re-enactment of Edo-period music and dance. (Found those details on Peatix) and we were not disappointed! So beautiful! The museum itself was also very impressive. Loved the Bridge and Home Replicas, a few interactive exhibits to touch and try, and the audio guide fits on one ear and starts talking about the exhibit you are near by tapping it to the sign or walking near. Very wonderful sights and experiences here. Beautiful views and explanations and simply an amazing museum all around!

Kyu Yasuda Garden

Reviewed By gogycon

For traditional garden aficionados, this rather small garden, easily accessed from nearby Sumo arena has a little secret to know! The pond is fed by water from the nearby Sumida river, which is also fed by Tokyo bay.So, across the pond are the stepping stones or "tobi ishi" which can be crossed by visitors depending on the sea tides! Try your luck !?

Tobu Museum

Reviewed By alnmcox - London, United Kingdom

This was great especially on a rainy day. We caught the 39 bus which stops two minutes away. It is 200 yen to enter. We were there a couple of hours. There are lots of interactive exhibits. The signs are in Japanese but have QR codes for the English. We didn’t bother because we could see what the items were. Overall a very fun museum.

We walked to this park several times as we stayed in Asakusa. Saw locals walking and relaxing. There was some local events. We crossed the bridge over the Sumida river and enjoyed views of cherry blossoms.
