Koto

Among Tokyo’s wards, Koto stands out for the way its old canal districts meet a vast reclaimed waterfront on Tokyo Bay. The ward stretches from Fukagawa, a low-lying area shaped by waterways and Edo-period commerce, towards Toyosu, Ariake and other bayside districts built on reclaimed land. Tomioka Hachimangu, founded in 1627, remains one of Fukagawa’s important Shinto shrines and is associated with the annual Fukagawa Hachiman Festival. Elsewhere, Kiba Park houses the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, while the waterfront has become a setting for markets, venues and high-rise neighbourhoods.
