Tomigaya
The Best Walking Street
One of our favorite neighborhoods - a walking street lined with cafes, small shops, and some of the best casual food in the city. Walk it in the morning with a coffee from Camelback, then walk into Yoyogi Park especially during fall foliage season.
Stay here if
You want great cafe culture, a beautiful walking street, and Yoyogi Park at the end of it.
Skip It If
You're expecting nightlife - this is a daytime or casual drink neighborhood.
