During the Edo period, Nihonbashi was the starting point of the Five Roads that connected Tokyo with other areas, a place where a fish market was held, and a town of merchants. Many long-established stores still exist. Let's explore authentic Japanese souvenirs in Nihonbashi. Also, enjoy eating around Ningyocho, which is a performing arts town along with Asakusa and has many long-established gourmet restaurants.
Tokyo Station Nihonbashi Exit In front of Bellmart Kiosk (small convenience store) You can see Starbucks Coffee on the second floor.
During the Edo period, Nihonbashi was the starting point of the Five Roads that connected Tokyo with other areas. Even now we can see the Japanese National Road Marker.
Nihonbashi has been redeveloped, and there are many long-established shops among the many modern commercial facilities. There are also many long-established independent stores in the vicinity. I will guide you to the 2 or 3 stores of your choice including food, stationery, personal items, and daily necessities.
You can purchase SENSU folding fans, Japanese paper stationery, Edo Glass, Dashi soup stock, Japanese knives, and more for example.
Ningyocho is a part of the Nihonbashi area, but it is reminiscent of the Edo period. In this district, you can enjoy street food such as minced meat croquettes, tofu donuts, and fish-shaped pancakes with red bean paste.
Suitengu is a shrine that is often visited by women who are about to give birth. This is an urban-style shrine that was recently rebuilt and docked inside a building.

I highly recommend Maki - she was knowledgable and had some great shopping recommendations for traditional items / Made in Japan. The yakitori at end of the tour in Yurakucho was a great way to finish.
