Just a short train ride from Shibuya or Shinjuku lies Shimokitazawa, or Shimokita as locals fondly call it — a neighborhood that feels far removed from the neon rush of central Tokyo. With its maze of narrow streets, eclectic shops, and a community of artists, musicians, and dreamers, Shimokitazawa offers a glimpse of Tokyo’s creative, slow-paced side.
For those who have already seen Tokyo’s major landmarks, Shimokitazawa is a refreshing next stop — a place where you can browse vintage stores, sip coffee in a sunlit cafe, and spend the evening listening to live music in a tucked-away bar.
About the Author
Born and raised in Costa Rica and now based in Tokyo for many years, I’ve spent countless weekends walking through neighborhoods like Shimokitazawa, discovering cafes, art spaces, and hidden local gems. I love visiting galleries and museums, and—coming from a country with strong coffee culture—I’m especially picky about good brews. Having experienced Japan both as an outsider and a long-term resident, I understand what travelers look for and what they often miss. My goal is to share trustworthy insights that help you enjoy Tokyo like a true local.
What is Shimokitazawa?
Once a quiet residential area in western Tokyo, Shimokitazawa transformed after World War II when open-air markets and small theaters began attracting students and artists. Over the decades, the neighborhood evolved into a symbol of Tokyo’s youth and counterculture, celebrated for its thrift fashion, underground music, and intimate community vibe.
Even as new developments like reload and Mikan Shimokita have modernized the area, Shimokitazawa has managed to keep its charm — a rare balance between nostalgia and innovation. Compact and walkable, every corner of Shimokita hides something new to discover: a cafe behind a record shop, an antique store beside a curry house, or a live house tucked beneath the train tracks.
It’s this mix of everyday creativity and effortless style that makes Shimokitazawa a must-visit for travelers seeking Tokyo’s local, authentic side.

Born and raised in Costa Rica, I started living in Tokyo from college. I love traveling within Japan & around the world. Since I wasn’t born in Japan, I know the cultural impact that you can get when visiting Japan for the first time and what you might be worried about before your trip. And I’ve lived long enough to somewhat understand the nuances of the Japanese culture that make this country such an attractive place to visit. Hopefully I can provide to you both the information you’re looking for and the information you didn’t know you needed to know.
