About operator:

We have arranged the tour to give a perspective of how the local people actually live. One thing that always leaves an impression on us in Shimokitazawa is the people, who are on the one hand slightly eccentric, but also full of life, positive energy, and striking individuality. As you wander through the maze of narrow-streets and back alleys, you can discover rows of unique clothes shops and antique shops, or take in a variety of live performances, characterized by freedom of creativity. Have the courage to enter places that might initially seem a little daunting, such as old-fashioned shops nestled down side streets or places packed full of locals. A visit to Shimokitazawa always provides a memorable experience, be it an encounter with an interesting person, or simply stumbling upon a new shop, bar, or cafe. Take a trip to Shimokitazawa, in search of your own chance encounter.
