Experience Location
Shin-Koenji is a pleasant residential area on the western side of Tokyo. Serviced by the Marunouchi Subway Line, Shin-Koenji is a kind of satellite neighborhood that benefits from having easy access to Koenji’s cool bars and vintage stores, but has its own low-key feel of quiet winding streets dotted with parks and beautiful Japanese homes. Families shop at the major supermarkets in the area, with the gorgeous food from the local Queen’s Isetan supermarket (owned by the department store giant, Isetan) matched by some local retailers and humble restaurants around Shin-Koenji Station.
