Guide to SHIMOKITAZAWA (13 things to do in Tokyo's hipster district)

[@Nik-ll1nl]

Shimokitazawa was amazing for me. People were much friendlier and less sales-y than the rest of Tokyo. Just a good vibe.

[@IfWeGoTo]

So happy to hear you enjoyed it too! It’s a super awesome neighborhood and a totally different vibe than the rest of Tokyo!!

[@danielyamagata4172]

there is an interesting place called “bonus track”, it is a 10 minute walk from Shimokitazawa station.

[@IfWeGoTo]

Aw man!! Seems like we missed it! Hopefully future visitors will see your comment! Thank you! 😃

[@karlyn132]

Noted🙌🏿

[@adamr8837]

looking forward to my 1st visit to Japan, this video is super helpful, I would have never known about this neighborhood, or the Totoro cream puffs! Thank you for your fine work, I'm enjoying your channel, my tastes align nicely with yours, peace and love, adam

[@IfWeGoTo]

Thank you so much for your kind comment!! Hope you have an amazing trip to Japan!! It’s such an awesome place.

[@harblife]

Glad you guys found some time to check out Shimo! I wanted to put Shigo's place in my video, but they were out of stock 3 days in a row lmao! Either way, awesome stuff y'all and keep up the good vids!

[@IfWeGoTo]

Thanks for the recommendation. We went specifically because you made Shimokitozowa sound so cool. Also thanks for the pro tip about the cream puffs. We lined up before opening cause you told us they sold out super quick. Likewise keep up the good work, noticed your videos have been breaking out!

[@harblife]

@@IfWeGoTo oops sorry just saw this! not a problem! Love helping out whereever I can! Yeah I'm glad y'all were able to get the cream puffs and have them for the video lmao. Those things are always running out 🤣. And yeah been super lucky with my videos recently. Hopefully we can keep both keep growing our channels quickly! 👌

Love this video, love your vibe 💓. I'm excited to watch more

[@IfWeGoTo]

Ahh thank you!! Shimokita is such a cool place! So happy you enjoyed it! :D

[@DanielandYuka]

Awesome video guys! We love exploring Shimokitazawa! Happy you got to meet Takashii from Japan! Look forward to the interview video! Those Totoro Cream Puffs are so tasty! Loved the Cat latte!

[@IfWeGoTo]

Thank you both!!! It was very cool to meet both of them, they were super fun!! And the food in shimokitazawa was great!!

[@tiinah-b2326]

😳I just came directly from watching Takashi’s channel where he interviewed his friend here with you! Also… I didn’t comment the other day, but I also follow The One Pack Wanderers (since their Vietnam motorcycle trip) and more recently their friends Lisa and Josh! The KZbin world is getting more and more tight knit… I wonder who else you will meet… seems everyone I follow is in Japan at the moment!

[@IfWeGoTo]

Oh awesome!! They were both so nice, a pleasure to meet them!! That’s awesome!! Definitely the travel vlog community is pretty small!! But everyone was so nice!! And yeah!! I think Japan is a very popular destination so after hearing it was open again after many years I think everyone was so excited to go!! Like us!

It is rare for foreign tourists to come to Shimokitazawa. It is a wonderful thing to see. I would like to interview you if I bump into you guys!!

[@IfWeGoTo]

It was such a cool spot!! We’d definitely be down for an interview if we bump into you one day? Are you in shimokitazawa?? We’ve left Tokyo but maybe on a future visit!! 😃

Watching this on the TV to see the cream puffs!!!

[@IfWeGoTo]

Cream puffs in 4k!!! 😂

[@louisecallanta5968]

@@IfWeGoTo Absolutely. They were so cute!!!

[@phillyandkeely]

Shimokitazawa is so cool isn't it!! We were just there a couple weeks ago. Some shops are expensive but we found some really good cheap ones. You make great videos, it's fun seeing our vlogs cross over eachother I wonder if we are ever in the same place at the same time lol 🤣 Maybe our paths will cross somewhere 🥰🇯🇵

[@IfWeGoTo]

It is super cool!! Thanks for watching guys!! Will add you to instagram right now! We should keep in touch and if we are in the same town link up!!

[@phillyandkeely]

@@IfWeGoTo yay that would be a lot of fun 🥰🥰

[@Kayla-vz7xx]

my favourite place in the whole world i reckon

[@IfWeGoTo]

It is so cool !!

[@qwertyu0810]

中古品なら「セカンドストリート」「ハードオフ」という店がオススメです。 For second-hand items, we recommend the stores "Second Street" and "Hard-Off".

[@IfWeGoTo]

Thanks for the local recommendations!!! I hope people watching this find it!!

[@Mwoods2272]

The "Off" brand has many different stores. Book-Off is for Manga, CD's and DVD's. Mode-Off is for clothes. Garage Off is for motor vehicles. Hard-Off for electronics. Liquor-Off for alcohol. Hobby-Off for toys and collectables. Then there's Offhouse that has everything.

[@ji1511]

There is a Shirohige shop in Kichijoji also . In Shimokitazawa, do try Taiwan Kitchen. Great fried crispy chicken n pork at reasonable prices. The pizza shop is also good.

[@IfWeGoTo]

We didn’t know they had two locations! How cool! Next time we are there we’ll have to check it out! We love Taiwanese fried chicken!!

[@orioriedwd]

I think that curry shop is also a favorite shop of guitarist Marty Friedman. He loves spicy curry too.

[@IfWeGoTo]

He has good taste!! Lol

[@AmyMilliken-j5j]

Where did u stay in Shimokitazawa?

[@IfWeGoTo]

We stayed in Asakusa but took the train to Shimokitazawa! I believe it was about 40 minutes. :)

Ohayo, thanks for the vid. What were the places that were cheaper to thrift in Ueno, if you please? And, what is Tokyo like now that JApan has opened back up to the world? Arigato 💖

[@IfWeGoTo]

Thank you!!! I don’t remember the name of the shop, but it was close to Ueno station! They had a few options there too! It is a little quieter than last time, more caution around illness, but still has all of the charm!

[@sandyschneider2363]

Alan, you have an interesting speech pattern. Where are you from?

上着はともかくパンツは日本人の古着だとサイズ合うの少なそう、主に丈が。 外国から輸入してる古着屋なら良いかもね。
