"Moon Art Night Shimokitazawa 2024" is back again this year In the autumn of art, I went to a fantastic event where the city of Shimokitazawa is colored with the moon and art 𓂃🌕 A huge moon with a diameter of 7 meters based on NASA's photos of the moon's surface appears before your eyes, creating a spectacular sight! You can enjoy unique works by domestic and international artists such as Luke Jerram and Amanda Parler ⋆* Another nice point is that the art works exhibited outdoors can be viewed for free ❁ I got the impression that there were many people with children. Some exhibitions require paid tickets, but there are also ticket packs that include original goods, so if you're interested, check them out ✨ #Tokyotrip #ArtNight #MoonArtNight #Shimokitazawa #ArtTour #AutumnRecommendedSpots #Shimokita #TokyoTourism #TokyoTouristSightseeing

📍Rainbow CURRY Restaurant-Shimokitazawa Branch Address: 2F, 2-31-9 Kitazawa, Setagaya-ku Opening hours: 11:00-23:00 💫Butter Chicken Curry + 9 kinds of wild vegetables ¥1,705 tax included 💫Avocard Chicken with Avocado Cream + 9 Vegetables ¥1,848 (tax included) Deliciousness index: 😋😋😋 We started queuing directly at the stairs. There were about 4 groups waiting in front of us, and the total waiting time was about 20 minutes. The store is small and can only accommodate about 6-7 groups of customers. We were arranged to sit by the window and needed to take off our shoes before sitting down. Since we don't eat beef, we only ordered butter chicken curry, otherwise the beef tendon curry in the restaurant is a popular dish. You can taste the aroma of cream, but the chicken itself is a bit dry. The 9 kinds of wild vegetables added are very filling.

#Halloween2023#Weekend Tour Spice Ramen is a sister shop of the popular soup curry specialty store Rojiura Curry Samurai🌟! Its signature Spice Ramen soup curry ramen 🍜 looks really attractive! We ordered half noodles and changed to more vegetables 🥬. The curry soup has a strong and layered spice flavor, a bit Indian, and the concentration is moderate. It is also very smooth to drink as a soup 🤲🏻. Vegetables like fried burdock and eggplant 🍆 are also delicious! The Soupless Spice Ramen curry noodles are also delicious, especially the ramen 🍜, which is more chewy and has more soup! The store also recommends squeezing some lemon juice 🍋, which will change the taste of the curry and make it feel fresher! P.S. Actually, it happened to be the Curry Festival in Shimokitazawa that day🍛, so all the 3 restaurants that were originally bookmarked were not available🙈, and most of the curry houses had long queues. But I didn't expect that I was attracted by the smell of curry at the door and went in to eat Dot and Line Ramen 🍜, which was also a big surprise 😍 I got a seat after waiting for a while, and the soup curry ramen was so delicious 😋! 👍🏻 Spice Ramen dots and lines

🇯🇵 Shimokitazawa Shimokitazawa with a Hongdae feel that is hot among 2030s these days! There are a lot of vintage clothing stores and the prices are cheap! The neighborhood is cute and there is a train that runs through it, so it's full of emotions!! It's close to Shibuya, so I recommend it as a course that you can visit together. There are also many hot cafes and restaurants, so it's a good course for a date while shopping! #TokyoTravel

BAKERY the MALASADA TOKYO A newly opened Hawaiian donut shop in Shimokitazawa Fluffy dough with plenty of cream The outside is coated with lots of sugar A Hawaiian-like donut A random special flavor is added every weekend. On this day, it was chocolate flavor. I ordered the classic custard Freshly fried and fluffy. The dough is light and soft, so even one person can easily finish it. I was curious about the curry flavor, so I asked the staff, and they said that thanks to the sugar coating, you can enjoy a sweet and salty taste that is different from curry bread, so it is recommended! It is basically a takeaway, but there is a bench in front of the shop where you can sit and eat. There were about five people in line on a Sunday evening, but since most of it was takeaway, the wait time was short and we were able to sit on the bench and eat. It was the weekend, so there were a lot of customers and the turnover was good, so about half of the flavors were freshly fried donuts. There are many flavors and they are all around 300 yen, so it's a place I'd like to visit again when I'm walking around Shimokitazawa! #Shimokitazawa #ShimokitazawaGourmet #ShimokitazawaSweets #Donuts #Hawaii #FoodTrip

It was my first time visiting this station and there weren't many tourists. There is Atre Department Store at the Central Exit. To the south are Kichijoji Park Shopping Street, Marui Department Store and Donki. To the north are Sunroad shopping street and Parco department store. After shopping, you can take a walk in Inokashira Park! The environment there is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. There are residents walking their dogs and the elderly leisurely. No wonder it is hailed as the best living community, because of its complete and perfect living facilities!

📍Shimokitazawa 📝It is a commercial and entertainment area in Sekagaya Ward, Tokyo, Japan. 🚇Take the Keio Inokashira Line from Shibuya‼️ ◽️When I think of Shimokitazawa, the words ‘cute’, ‘emotional’, ‘youthful’, and ‘variety store’ come to mind (extremely personal) ◽️There are cafes, theaters, shopping malls, variety stores, and liquor stores around here, and the stores themselves are cute and really pretty. They often do busking👩‍🎤🎤 full of Japanese sensibility. ◽️It’s not easy to get to from Shinjuku (relatively), so I’ve only been there three times while living in Japan. If you’re visiting Tokyo for a trip, this is a place I recommend! #TouristAttractionReview #JapanTravel #Shimokitazawa

It is a hot place that is called the second Harajuku, and it is a place that is famous and rising among Japanese MZ these days as a hip place that sells used clothes.

Shimokitazawa is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Tokyo. It's a neighborhood where you lose track of time, with its uniquely colored vintage fashion goods shops, unique restaurants, and live houses. This place is also the birthplace of underground modern rock! Representative bands 'Mr. Children' and 'Spitz' are also from here. #TokyoTravel #JapanTravel #Shimokitazawa

What charms everyone in Shirohige Cream Puff Factory in the bohemian hub of Shimokitazawa are the cream puffs shaped like Studio Ghibli’s beloved anime character, Totoro. Too cute to eat, but then again, too tasty to waste! Even if you originally come here just for Totoro puffs, the dainty house is just as enchanting. After a bit of a walk from Shimokitazawa station, you’ll end up in a residential neighborhood where you can find the house amidst a lush green garden. On days when there are no lines outside, it really does feel like you are visiting a friend living in the Ghibli universe. The Shirohige Cream Puff Factory also sells these cute pastries in their Kichijoji branch, but only as a takeaway. On the plus side, the Kichijoji shop is the only one selling cat-bus shaped pastries. #café

Shimokitazawa is a cozy town where new and old mix together #Travel inspiration

I've visited Tokyo more than five times, but every trip to this city brings new feelings and discoveries. From the bustling Shibuya and Harajuku to the tranquil yet lively Shimokitazawa and Kiyosumi Shirakawa, every corner offers surprises and memorable experiences. This time, I made a special trip to Afuri Yuzu Ramen. Eating it in the hot weather felt particularly refreshing. The flavor is light and not overwhelming, making it a perfect choice for a summer day.

Tokyo is a city like no other. A place where ancient temples and Shinto shrines sit quietly beside neon-lit skyscrapers, where centuries-old customs live on in the rhythm of a metropolis that never stops evolving.

It is clean, efficient, endlessly creative, and always one step ahead.

If you're a fan of vintage clothing or American-style fashion, this is a must-visit spot. Known as the birthplace of vintage, music, and theater culture, Shimokitazawa is like a small American village, with its vintage shops showcasing unrestricted European and American fashion styles. You can get there via the Odakyu Line or the Keio Inokashira Line. From Shimokitazawa Station's East Exit, you'll find the station sign, and then follow the route mentioned in the comments section to explore. Along the way, you'll encounter places like The Runaway Guitarist, Honda Theater (which has plenty of "Bocchi the Rock!" merchandise that's much cheaper than in Ikebukuro or Akihabara), vending machines, and live houses. All of these are located along one street, making it easy to explore in one go. If you have questions about the route, feel free to ask me or check out pilgrimage websites—they're easy to navigate. A quick tour of Shimokitazawa can be completed in about half an hour, but if you're aiming for specific photo spots, it might take a bit longer. Additionally, Mujica and GBC have scenes here, and finishing the GBC pilgrimage will conveniently bring you right in front of Shimokitazawa's East Exit—super nice! Most clothing stores here have fitting rooms available for use, but remember to take off your shoes before entering. The streets and architectural styles in this area also have a retro vibe, making it a fantastic spot for photography even if you're not planning to shop—your photos will turn out amazing! Transportation: Take the Odakyu Line to Shimokitazawa Station, and you'll be right there.
