A Visit to Shimokitazawa in Tokyo

Shimokitazawa is a suburb near Shibuya that has an amazing old-world feel to it - you can wander the narrow streets relatively unimpeded by the traffic and browse the myriad stores selling second hand clothes, designer goods, weird antiques, second-hand vinyl records (Yay!) and drink craft beer. Compared to the pedestrian madness of Shinjuku or Shibuya, this is a country town and a very refreshing change from the noise of the busier parts of the city. Not everything was open when we visited but those stores that had closed displayed some cute artworks on the (drawn) shutters that also brightened up the streetscape.
