Overview

Welcome to Shimokitazawa — Tokyo’s chillest area and my home. Let me show you what makes this place so special, from hidden alleys to the best vintage shops. It’s a side of the city most tourists never get to see.

On this walking tour, I’ll take you to my favourite spots — not the ones in guidebooks, but the ones locals actually go to. Whether you're into thrifting, street photography, Japanese subculture, or just want to relax with good coffee and good conversation, this is the place.

We’ll wander through narrow backstreets, browse unique secondhand shops, spot murals and local art, and take in the laid-back vibe that makes Shimokitazawa so loved. I’ll share local tips along the way — where to eat, what to shop for, and how to enjoy Tokyo like someone who lives here.
