Musée Hamaguchi Yōzō: Yamasa Collection (ミュゼ浜口陽三・ヤマサコレクション)

Coming from a family with several artists in its history and being the third son of the president of the Yamasa Shōyu company Yōzō Hamaguchi went on to become one of the world's most famous mezzotint artists. Among other things he developed the color mezzotint technique now used by many. He spent most of his career in Paris and San Francisco with a period in Japan from 1939-1953. He returned to Japan in 1996 and passed away in 2000. The museum opened in 1998, is operated by the Yamasa corporation and was set up with Yōzō's approval. The collection includes not only prints by him and his wife Keiko Minami, it also includes tools, various photographs, and occasional displays of works by other artists. There is also a cafe attached to the museum.

Yagenbori Fudōin (薬研堀不動院)

One of the major Fudō Myōō temples of Tokyo and a branch of Kawasaki Daishi Heikenji, a major Shingon temple in Kawasaki. The main object of veneration here is a Fudō statue from the 12th century which was brought to Edo in 1585 after the temple it was in was burned down in a battle. As the statue was carried in a wicker box the statue came to be called the Tsuzura Fudō Myōō, that is "Fudō Myōō in a wicker box" The temple itself is on a small plot of land and shaped like a pagoda with a long stairway leading to it.
