An art gallery set in a 1930s art deco house that used to be the home of Prince Akasa. The art is good - there were gorgeous photographs of flowers when we went - but the house is outstanding. There's also a Japanese garden to stroll round afterwards and a nice cafe near the entrance. Well worth a visit.

A pleasant park/garden close to the famous Tsukuji fish market and Ginza shopping area. Attractive and relaxing strolls to be had in the shade of trees or beside a lake with the glistening office tower blocks to the north. Nice for picnics. The Sumida river boat calls at the corner and can take you up to the old Asakusa area of town (and back!) as well as over to Hinode pier a little further towards the Rainbow bridge. Entry to the garden was about 400 Yen. Bowl of green tea and a small cake at the teahouse sitting looking across the lake and watching little fish leaping, about 300 Yen.

As given above.
