After visiting Kiyosumi Teen Garden, I headed for Monzennakacho. It was very close and took about 15 minutes walk. 'Monzen' means 'In front of gate of Buddhist temple or Shinto shrine' literally. So it showed this area was built around the temple or the shrine. In this case, this area was developed in front of Tomioka Hachiman-Gu, a Shinto shrine.
During walking around the area, I found a small entertainment district. The narrow street was flanked by small bars. Every bar was old fashioned. All of them were still closed and waited for the night fell.
