Walks in Shimokitazawa.

One editor-picked walk through Shimokitazawa, plus nearby routes for the same morning if you want to keep going.

Car-light lanes of vintage and vinyl, tiny theatres, and the low-rise blocks on the old railway land.

Sorted by distance from the start of shimokitazawa: the backstreets. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Hachiko, the Scramble Crossing, a tin-roofed drinking alley, and the rooftop that shows you the lot.

A man-made forest, a great torii, and the Sunday drummers in the park next door.

The Tsutaya bookshop, the Maki terraces, and the canal of cherry trees down the hill.

Takeshita-dori at full teenage volume, then Omotesando's architecture mile under the trees.
