Ride the line. If effort spikes, ease back into the rhythm — don't push through.
The Sumida Terrace from Ryogoku to Asakusa is a purpose-built accessible riverside promenade — 6 km of continuous 4 m wide flagstone, zero road crossings on the west bank, ramps at every bridge. Accessible toilets at Ryogoku Bridge, Kuramae, Komagata, and Azuma Bridge. Fully wheelchair, mobility-scooter and stroller friendly. Skytree is visible for the last 3 km.

Because the Sumida is Tokyo's original spine — its willingness to carry the city's weight is 400 years old, and moving alongside it borrows some of that long agreement.
