Kuramae
Tokyo's Brooklyn — warehouse cafés and leather workshops on the Sumida.
Old riverside warehouses turned into hand-drip coffee roasters, leather ateliers, stationery and design shops. When Asakusa's crowds get loud, walk ten minutes south to Kuramae for dessert and a slow coffee on the water.
