Daikanyamacho

Going to Daiguanshan is purely to go to the Sakaya Bookstore in a daze. Daiguanshan, located in Shibuya District, Tokyo, is a place of high and high wealth. There are currently three or four Sakaya Bookstores in China. Sitting at Starbucks in the Sakaya Bookstore, drinking a cup of coffee, reading a book, you can feel the busy young Japanese in the adjacent seats, the sound of the keyboard, is it a bit of an inner roll? The bookstore's English name "TSUTAYA" originated from the Japanese publisher, Shizuo Yamashiro. In addition, I visited the old Asakura family house near the station, a traditional Japanese-style courtyard built in Daejeong 8 years (1919), which was the house of the President of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, and also a few well-preserved Hefeng residences in the Daejeong period in Tokyo after the Kanto earthquake.

Daiguanshan is adjacent to Ebisu, located in Shibuya District, Tokyo, belonging to the middle and high-class residential area of Tokyo, with an elegant atmosphere. The shops in the entire area are also very loose and the rhythm is relatively slow. It is a relatively petty and sentimental place in Tokyo.

Daiguanshan shops are also very loose, the rhythm is slow, can give you a calm mood, let you have time, have the mood to appreciate something, is Tokyo is relatively petty and sentimental place. Near the station is a market for selling a variety of daily necessities, groceries, all kinds of elegant, tasteful and personalized goods, especially popular with young women.

The scenery is good, I like it very much, very good choice.

I am a person who admires the surroundings of Dai Guan Shan and does not like to go shopping. Moreover, Dai Guan Shan's stores are far away from each other. They are not ideal places for shopping, but places for walking. This kind of situation can make the East Emergency Bus Transses (at No. 35 Bus Station of Shigu Station) go around the whole Daiguanshan area, not only to see the street scenery but also save foot power, but also to reach the destination Yingwu Bookstore tsite.

This little known grassy patch in the Daikanyama neighbourhood is Saigoyama Park, just 10 minutes walk away from Daikanyama Station. It is the local’s best-kept secret (I suppose not anymore after this posting!) and is popular for picnics, strolls and sunset-watching. It gets even more ethereal during cherry blossom season, with full luscious trees.   

Daikanyama oozes with cool vibes and urban hedonism but, look a little closer and you might just find a hidden Zen. Case in point: the Kyu Asakura House. Once a private home of a local politician, Kyu Asakura House is the perfect embodiment of traditional Japanese aesthetics that balance nature with architecture. Manicured gardens surround this Taisho-era Japanese style abode with interiors rich in local references and culture. Tatami mats, washi paper sliding doors and quaint nooks -- it's the perfect outing to experience Japanese serenity.
