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

Located in Sumida, Tokyo, ONE@Tokyo is just a 5-minute walk from Oshiage Station. This hotel, overseen by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, blends industrial style with warm wooden materials, offering a unique design experience. I booked a standard small double room (Studio type) for three nights, including two weekend nights, averaging over 600 per night, which is a great deal in Tokyo! The space is compact but efficiently utilized, accommodating a 24-inch and a 20-inch suitcase without much issue. The room is well-equipped with a mini-fridge, electric kettle, and a large mirror. The rooftop garden is a highlight, offering stunning views both day and night. Nearby, the TOKYO Solamachi (Skytree Mall) is just a 5-minute walk away. The mall spans 10 floors with a variety of clothing, miscellaneous goods, anime merchandise, souvenirs, desserts, and food. It's larger than expected, and even those who aren't fond of exercise might find themselves spending more time exploring than anticipated. Must-visit shops include "Acorn Republic" on the 2nd floor for Ghibli fans, "Loft" on the 3rd floor for stationery lovers, and the 4th floor for anime enthusiasts with stores like Pokemon Center and Sanrio. Don't miss the Kirby Café on the 4th floor, but remember to book in advance. #TokyoTravel #TokyoHotels #TokyoSkytree

#getgoing2025 from afar Popular cafe "from afar" relocated and opened in Higashimukojima. Since it was late in the evening when I visited, many of the cakes were sold out, and only pudding, chocolate cake, and cheesecake remained. The seasonal cakes were sold out. However, the pudding we ordered was very good! I don't like pudding that is too hard, so I really liked the smooth pudding here.😋😋 The atmosphere is still great🩷 I will visit again earlier in the day. 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: from afar 📍Address: 〒131-0032 Tokyo, Sumida City, Higashimukojima, 5 Chome−2−7 ダイアパレス東向島 101 💞Reasons to Recommend: Chill vibes, delicious food ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #tokyo #cafe #chill

Cafe Capyba address : 1 Chome-31-3 Higashimukojima, Sumida City, Tokyo 131-0032, Japan Get to see and touch a real life Capybara. There are two capybara in the cafe. We came on a Sunday morning and were left with the last slot at 3.40pm. It was also their last slot before closing for the day. We were given a 20 mins interaction but it was shared between other customers. The staff will lead the Capybara to each table. We managed to get 2 interactions. We bought snacks from the cafe to feed them. There were two options, kibbles or carrots. Carrots are the popular option. The session cost 1250 yen per person for a 30 mins interaction time and need to order at least 1 drink. We were only left with the 20 mins slot so they don't require us to get any drinks. #japantravel #capybara
