Indie record shops feature heavily, with navigation assistance helping you move between different record stores that specialize in everything from classic albums to underground releases.
Quirky cafes are woven into the walk so you can note spots for a later break; meals and beverages are not included, but you can choose to purchase coffee or local craft beverages on your own time.
Your tour is available in a private tour format or a group tour format, depending on the option you select at booking, and in both cases you are accompanied by a local tour guide throughout.
Shimokita Senrogai area
Shimokita Senrogai is a newly developed zone in Shimokitazawa, created over old train tracks and now home to creative spaces and gathering spots. The tour route includes time here so you can compare this newer development with the older streets you walked earlier.
Features
A dedicated visit to the Shimokita Senrogai area lets you see how the neighborhood has expanded along the former rail line, adding modern structures above the historic tracks.
Street art and urban murals appear along the way, and your guide points you toward walls and corners that work well if you want to capture stylish, magazine-like portraits.
