2025 Edogawa Ward Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

A sushi restaurant in Tokyo that I visited at a reasonable price. The sushi that they make in front of you while explaining it to you is really fresh and delicious. I want to go there again.

Hidden in a quiet corner of Tokyo’s Edogawa ward is a whimsical surprise: a building that looks like it was plucked right out of Barcelona. This Gaudí-inspired structure near Nishi-Kasai Station stands in stark contrast to the uniformity of its surroundings. With its curving lines, vibrant mosaic tiles, and organic forms, it instantly draws the eye and invites curiosity—like a slice of Catalan creativity dropped into Tokyo’s steady rhythm. Walking past, I couldn’t help but slow down to take in the details. The façade seems alive with motion—windows twist and lean, ceramic tiles shimmer in the sun, and metal railings curve like vines. It’s not a museum or a tourist landmark, just an apartment complex, which makes its existence even more fascinating. It’s a place you stumble upon by chance and remember long after. Why visit? Because it’s proof that Tokyo never runs out of surprises. This building captures the spirit of Gaudí without being a copy—it’s playful, dreamlike, and tucked away in a spot you’d never expect. If you enjoy the intersection of architecture and fantasy, or simply love discovering the unexpected in everyday places, this is one worth seeking out. #tokyospots

#cherryblossom25 Kawazu Cherry Blossoms in Edogawa, Tokyo, are a special variety of sakura known for blooming earlier than most other cherry trees in Japan, typically around late February to early March. The Kawazu-zakura variety features vibrant pink blossoms that last longer than the more common Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms. In Edogawa, the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival takes place along the Edogawa River, where the cherry trees create a stunning pink canopy. Visitors can enjoy a scenic walk or boat ride while admiring the blossoms. This early-blooming sakura offers a delightful opportunity to experience Japan’s cherry blossoms before the more widespread blooms appear.

#tokyostroll If you find yourself in Hirai, Edogawa, and need a break, Coffee One More is the perfect hidden gem. This charming café is known for its great coffee and delicious sweets, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels just like home. I ordered their French Toast, which came with a slice of lemon on top—such a refreshing twist! The toast was perfectly soft on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside, with just the right amount of sweetness. The hint of lemon added a light, citrusy touch, making it even more enjoyable. The café itself has a retro and cozy vibe, making it a great spot to relax with a book or chat with friends. Plus, their hand-drip coffee pairs wonderfully with the desserts! Why I recommend this place: Unique French Toast with a refreshing lemon twist – light yet satisfying! Cozy and nostalgic atmosphere – perfect for coffee lovers who enjoy a relaxing café experience. 📍 Address: 5 Chome-22-11 Hirai, Edogawa City, Tokyo 132-0035 #Edogawa #Tokyo #Japan #CafeHopping #FrenchToast #CoffeeTime

#Register for February Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 I wanted to have a BBQ today, so my husband and I went to the century-old rice warehouse in Kiyose City, which was transformed into a private barbecue place, and grilled the local colorful peppers in bamboo tubes. When the bamboo tube burst, the old farmer gave me a CD of "Sounds of the Warehouse": "This is the sound track of rice grains falling during the rainy season." *Five senses experience: BBQ should be paired with homemade brown rice soda*

#NovemberGood Places2024 #usj Recently I like to look for Southeast Asian cuisine in Tokyo. This time I went to Kasai Station in Edogawa District and considered a famous Thai 🇹🇭 restaurant nearby called Laitian! This restaurant is very authentic, even the storefront is Thai, and there is a wide variety of food. This time we ordered coconut milk 🥥chicken soup. The clerk asked us how spicy we wanted to choose. We chose the "Thai" spiciness, and it was indeed spicy, fragrant, and umami enough. I also ordered Pad thai, which has many ingredients and is fried very fragrantly. My favorite is the shrimp spring rolls, which are fried to a crispy texture and come in large portions. It’s worth a try. . ライティアン - Kasai

#FireworksFestival Japan’s first fireworks festival in summer is really beautiful! Went to the famous Edogawa Fireworks Festival🎆 At the beginning, there were 1,000 fireworks in 5 seconds, and the fireworks were so bright that they lit up the entire sky. There are 7 sections in total, and there is music at the beginning of each section. It is very shocking and exciting. It is very touching to watch, and the atmosphere is also very good! After that, the scene will be changed to smaller fireworks 🧨 This fireworks festival was not as hard as expected. We arrived two hours early and found a spot between the picnic mats. The return trip was also smooth.

Summer Japan is really really hot and humid, so I don't recommend it, but still!!! The reason you should go to Japan in the summer is because there are various festivals every week! In particular, fireworks are held all over the country in July, so if your travel schedule matches, I recommend you visit! Tokyo has the Edogawa Fireworks Festival scheduled for the 24th! When there are fireworks, the number of yatai also increases, so I recommend eating delicious street food while watching the fireworks! #JapanTravel

#besttrip2023 This time, I would like to introduce the Magical Literature Museum to everyone! This literature museum, which recreates the world of Eiko Kadono, just opened on November 3, 2023, so it was beautiful. The interior is all pink and cute. Even if you don't know much about Eiko Kadono, I think you'll enjoy it because there are picture books and other things on display. It's large enough that you can go around the whole thing in 1-2 hours. The pudding at the cafe was delicious, and the terrace seats looked nice when the weather was nice. It's helpful for those with children because there is a corner where they can read picture books, a nursing room, and a diaper changing corner, but since it's children's literature, I think it's aimed at elementary school children and above.

When it comes to spring in Japan, people often think of cherry blossom viewing. Cherry blossom viewing activities are popular throughout Japan, and there are romantic cherry blossom-lined paths along famous rivers in Tokyo, creating a unique atmosphere that cannot be experienced in other regions. During cherry blossom season, it is common to see people drinking and singing under the cherry blossom trees. While staying in Tokyo, why not try experiencing authentic Japanese cherry blossom viewing? Let's take a look together!

This is the peak season for saury and shirako, don’t miss it! A very satisfying meal Very good chef's board, will definitely visit again Important things should be said three times
