Hi! Happy new year everyone! Couple days ago I went to Sumida River. The weather was nice and it was my first time walking around here. I would say it was so refreshing seeing the water. Not far from this river you could visit the biggest temple in Tokyo called Sensoji. You could find Japanese couple or young people wearing Kimono or Japaneae traditional clothes. You can also rent Kimono like them by visiting a Kimono rental store near the temple. It is really worth to try! #newyear #japan #sensojitemple #awesomepic #sumida

Sumida river walk is a pathway along Sumida river which leads you to some of the popular tourist spot such as Sensoji temple, Tokyo sky tree and Asakusa area.

The is also a dedicated path for runners to exercise.
