Lonely Planet review

An increasing number of galleries are moving out of Central Tokyo to an edgy space such as you might expect in New York or Los Angeles. The building faces the Sumida-gawa (Sumida River) on one side and a cement plant on the other, and downstairs are loading docks for a department store. But no matter: the gallery owners present some of the city's most cutting-edge work. Galleries are on the 5th through 7th floors.

Taka Ishii Gallery (03 5646 6050; www.takaishiigallery.com; free entry), Shugoarts (03 5621 6434; www.shugoarts.com; free entry) and Tomio Koyama Gallery (03 3462 4090; www.tomiokoyamagallery.com; free entry) should give you a good start. Check for exhibitions and opening hours before setting out.
