Tips from the community
Sangenjaya is a bustling, retro area of Tokyo lined with quirky shops and hidden alleyways. Along the Den-en-Toshi line from Shibuya, this is a quick stop outside of the usual tourist route. For plenty of subculture-friendly shops, vintage stores, arcades, and authentic Japanese food, there is a reason Sangenjaya is one of the most popular areas for Tokyo locals.
