Tokyo Hidden Spots: A Grungy Local Neighbourhood

  • Share this:

Sangenjaya is a neighbourhood 2 stations away from Shibuya, although it is close to the city it has a nice neighbourly vibe, but with a grungy edge.

There are so many things to do here - nice cafes, the shotengai shopping street, free observation deck where you can a great view of Tokyo and of course my favourite, the back alleys aka yokocho.

Places visited:

・Komeda Coffee

・Sangenjaya Shotengai Shopping Street

・Carrot Tower Free Observation Deck
