Kagurazaka

Little Paris of Tokyo

France x Japan🟡 Moderate crowds

Kagurazaka has a long history as Tokyo's French quarter - there's a French school nearby and a sizeable expat community that gives the neighborhood a distinct European flavor charm. The main street has tons of hidden alleys branching off it, full of small restaurants, bars, and cafes. The combination of French bistros and traditional Japanese kaiseki on the same block is uniquely Kagurazaka. One of the more underrated neighborhoods in the city for food.
