Kiyosumi Shirakawa: A Coffee & Hidden Gem Tokyo Itinerary

If you’re looking for good coffee and hidden gems in Tokyo, this itinerary is for you! It has a little bit of everything-coffee, a beautiful Japanese garden, hole-in-the-wall shops, and a unique museum that transports you to Edo-Period Japan.
The last time I was in Japan, I met up with a friend I met through a work trip here. I asked if she had any recommendations for lesser-known areas in Tokyo, and she suggested we go to Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, an area known for its coffee culture.
My favorite part about this itinerary is that we made it completely on the fly! Our only plan was to get some good coffee and visit the park to catch the last of the fall foliage.
Japan has changed the way I travel because some of my favorite experiences and food places I’ve tried have been from randomly walking around and stumbling into hidden gems.
Honestly, the best way to experience Japan is to leave a lot of room to…*wander*. ✨
Pick one or two main things you want to cover in an area and then leave the rest up to “whatever happens, happens.”
I hope you enjoy this Tokyo travel itinerary and find some new places to add to your Japan bucket list!
