AKIHABARA

Next District



BACK INDEX
A legendary district – especially powerful during the 90s – plenty of shops devoted to selling electronic products, game consoles, anime, manga and video games. In its narrow streets you can find tons of computer parts, cables, cameras... The first personal robots were also started selling in Akihabara.

As you can see, this is a very geeky neighbourhood, that’s why it’s called Electric Town. Go for a walk in Akihabara means seeing the neon lights flickering, while you hear the sounds of impossible machines, computers and arcades… The neighbourhood frantically breathes to the people’s rhythm.

Next district



BACK INDEX
This is the major shopping and entertainment centre of the city of Tokyo and one of the most popular among young people. The legendary crossing located in front of the station, called Scramble Kousaten, is the most crowded in the world and it’s really impressive to see how pedestrians invade it in a perfect order without chaos.

Huge skyscrapers, neon lights, bars, shops, the Starbucks and absolutely everything you want to find 24 hours a day. There are also many nightclubs and love hotels, which are hotels for spending a few hours with your couple instead of taking them home to have sex.

There are hundred references to Shibuya’s neighbourhood in manga comics and anime movies. It’s a district where you’ll feel fadness, futurism and a controlled chaos, a place where you can feel overwhelmed... But if looking at the top of the skyscrapers, you can see the vast sky and feel it.

BACK INDEX
This is a neighbourhood away from the downtown, with a slightly counter-cultural youthful artistic reputation. It is an area full of narrow streets and tiny traditional bars which become crowded with young people during the weekend.

There are no big party areas, but hundreds of bars to grab a bite inside. Walk around Kichijōji and you’ll discover a variety of bars, urban vibes and unexpected surprises. NEXT DISTRICT

BACK INDEX
This is the most important commercial and administrative centre of Tokyo. Its train and underground station is the most widely used in the world, with an average of 3 million daily users. Walking around its streets you’ll find hundreds of big cinemas, restaurants, but mainly bars. Shinjuku is a typical district to go out, big party, nightlife...

Thousands of lights, strange sounds, crowded streets... The dynamism and variety of colours create a chaotic loop that rumbles into your head, making you feel as a stranger in the crowd. The huge number of neon lights is overwhelming, making you experiencing the taste and feeling of greatness of this civilization. NEXT DISTRICT

BACK INDEX
Nakano is a bit decadent area of Tokyo. When you wander through the streets, you can see that good old days were better for the district. It is another one of those magic places where you can buy manga,magazines, collectible items, figures of animation characters...

The environment is not as crazy as Akihabara since there are more pedestrian areas and hundreds of small bars and Izakayas. The sounds of forgotten melodies sink slowly and fade down before the shadow of the Akihabara giant. Nakano’s beat is slow but strong. NEXT DISTRICT

SHIMOKITAZAWA

Next District



BACK INDEX
This is a not very tourist district, but charming anyway. A neighbourhood to get lost, explore and enjoy and have a relaxing coffee. Full of small clothes shops – specially second-hand –small theatres, concert venues, vinyl shops and cafes surround Shimokitazawa, with much less people than elsewhere in Tokyo.

No doubt this is the hipster neighbourhood of the city. You can breathe a quite different air from Shibuya, although it is just five minutes by train. Shimokitazawa is peopled by artists, musicians and mostly by youth, who does not feel identified with the ideals trending in Harajuku or Shibuya. The streets are narrow, convoluted and difficult for vehicles access, thanks to that, many small businesses survive. NEXT DISTRICT

BACK INDEX
Kugayama (久我山) is a neighbourhood of Tokyo only 5 train stops from Shibuya on the Keiō Inokashira Line. It's a beautiful little-known residential neighborhood in Tokyo. Despite the fact that throughout the day there is not much activity on the streets, it is at night when people return by train from their long working day to quietly walk through its silent streets.

In Kugayama you can find "Laugh & Peace", one of the best ramen shops in Tokyo, an authentic hidden gem where locals go every night to have a good time before returning to their homes. Back to first
