Century-old sweet shops, craft stores and the mechanical clock tower of old Edo.
A shitamachi lane a few minutes from Nihonbashi: traditional confectioners and craft shops, the karakuri clock towers that perform on the hour, and taiyaki worth queuing for. It is the everyday old Tokyo that survives beside the office towers.
