Koenji
Suginami City, Tokyo
Forniche's Recommendations
Koenji is a "deep spot" in Tokyo. There are many things to see and do in Koenji, such as the underground izakaya district, unique vintage clothing stores, delicious restaurants, traditional private shops, and more than 10 shopping arcades. Also enjoy the live street performances by young people that can be heard at night and the unique scenery of Koenji, such as people drinking outside at the north and south exit roundabouts. As a place where many young comedians, actors, and musicians live, there are many people with unique clothing styles, so it can be fun just to watch them!
Point of capture
There are many of them around the Pal shopping street at the south exit! There are also several stores in the side streets of the shopping arcade, and there are still a few stores past the shopping arcade. There are so many stores to choose from, so please try to go into various stores!
To be honest, Koenji is like a drinking district everywhere! If you exit the station and go to the west side, you will find many bars under the guard, so it is recommended to stop by there!

Koenji Pal shopping street. A big shopping street at the south exit. The arcade may be Japanese style.
Koenji is a town of vintage clothing. There are a variety of vintage clothing stores in the area around the Pal shopping arcade. The clothes of the customers who come to the stores are also unique, so observing them is fun.
Residential area. There is almost no space between houses, as if the houses are paved as much as possible. The townscape is very typical of a Tokyo residential area.
