East Tokyo is the side of Tokyo that you?ll want to make sure you?ve explored before the end of your trip, or before settling down anywhere in Japan. Not only is it steeped in the traditions of old-town Tokyo, with Asakusa as a cultural hub, but it?s also loved by locals for its peaceful riverside charm, accessible green spaces, thriving café and foodie culture, and general ease of living.
