Experience Location
Just west of Shibuya lies Sangenjaya, a stylish foodie area with charming cafes, famous pancakes, vintage shops, and rustic izakayas. Relatively unknown to foreign tourists, Sangenjaya is considered to be among one of the best neighborhoods to live in Tokyo. Artsy and laid-back, the vibes in Sangenjaya are quite welcoming, with a cozy cafe culture to match. Home to the Setagaya Public Theatre and various independent art galleries, as well as a stunning view of the city from the top of Carrot Tower, a visit to Sangenjaya makes for a leisurely day trip.
