Follow the road straight, and it will lead you through an old-style Japanese main street. Tsukishima is famous for it's old-fashioned shops and stores, and for it's numerous Monja-yaki restaurants.
Another place to see is Tokyo Cathedral, which is fantastic Catholic Church designed by famous Japanese architect. After visiting the cathedral, visit the garden at the nearby Four Seasons Chin-zan-so hotel. This is one of the most beautiful gardens I have seen in Tokyo, and you don't have to be a hotel guest to have a look. There are some nice traditional restaurants located on the grounds of the garden, and they are as nice to eat in as they are to look at.
