Kayabacho Station (茅場町駅) has six walking spots around it, ranging from former bank buildings reborn as small complexes to a bakery, a patisserie and a guided kayak tour on the river. Most of them sit in Nihonbashi-Kabutocho in Chuo Ward: BANK, Bakery bank, KABUTO ONE and the Tokyo Great Kayaking Tour are each a 3-minute walk from Kayabacho Station, while ease is a 3-minute walk and K5 a 4-minute walk from Nihombashi Station (日本橋駅). Some doors open at 08:00 and others at 11:00, so building the route around opening hours is the simplest way to link them into one walk.
This guide covers 6 walking spots; 6 of them are an average 3-minute walk from the nearest station (3–4 min).

Start with breakfast at BANK and the Bakery bank inside it, both open from 08:00, then walk along Eitai-dori to KABUTO ONE. Break for cake at ease once it opens at 11:00, and finish the evening at K5. Add the reservation-only Tokyo Great Kayaking Tour and you see the same streets from the water.
A multi-shop complex produced by Keisuke Oyama of "ease" inside a former bank. It holds a bakery, the bistro "Bistro yen", a coffee bar and a flower shop, and both a large olive tree roughly 1,000 years old and the bank's old vault remain in place.

It is a 3-minute walk from Kayabacho Station, open 08:00–18:00 on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday, and closed on Wednesdays.
A landmark directly connected to Kayabacho Station, facing Eitai-dori. Its atrium holds one of the world's largest cube-shaped displays, which shows the shifting market and works as digital art in its own right. There is also a book lounge where you can read while looking out at greenery, plus a hall seating 500. At a 3-minute walk from the station, it doubles as shelter when the weather turns.
A patisserie with an attached cafe, run by pastry chef Keisuke Oyama in Kabutocho. Fresh cakes made with attention to every 1 g, 1 °C and 1 mm are the signature, and the open-kitchen shop also carries plenty of baked sweets for gifts. It is a 3-minute walk from Nihombashi Station, open 11:00–18:00 on Monday and Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday, and closed on Wednesdays.
A micro-complex created by fully renovating a former bank completed in 1923 (Taisho 12). Floors two to four are a hotel; the ground floor holds the cafe "CAFE DANCE", "AKAI BAR" and the izakaya "MARUYAMA", and the basement has the world's first Brooklyn Brewery flagship beer hall. It is a 4-minute walk from Nihombashi Station.
A guided kayak tour paddling the Nihonbashi River and the Sumida River. From Kayabacho you enter the Nihonbashi River beneath the expressway, viewing the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Edobashi Junction from water level. Evening tours and tours you can bring your dog on are also offered, with bookings through the official site. The address is 1-3-2 Shinkawa, Chuo Ward, a 3-minute walk from Kayabacho Station, and closing days are irregular.
Bakery bank and ease are closed on Wednesdays, and BANK's hours cover Monday and Tuesday plus Thursday through Sunday, so any other day fits the full route more easily. The kayak tour has irregular closing days and requires a booking, so check its official site for dates before planning the rest of the walk.
