Nihombashi
This part of Tokyo dates back to the Edo era. It lets you experience history and culture with its old established shops that carry on with tradition.
As soon as I came out of the Mitsukoshimae exit, I ended up at a memorial located by the river and next to the bridge.
This arch was over an alley full of retail shops and restaurants that led to a shrine.
It was quite cold when I came here and many locals sought refuge in the cafes and restaurants in Nihombashi.
Two of the most prominent attractions in this area are the Bank of Tokyo as well as the Bank of Japan Currency Museum.

Right across the Mitsukoshi Department Store was this gargantuan Sumitomo Bank.
