Kichijoji is well-known for its popularity among young people in Tokyo. This trendy area is always ranked as one of the most desired places to live in. The town full of greenery, houses many large department stores and shopping districts so it is suitable for shopping, eating, and enjoying a leisurely stroll.
Through the back-alleys of Kichijoji at Harmonica Yokocho
The name, Harmonica Yokocho, comes from the harmonica-like scenery that consists of about 100 small stores, including shops and restaurants, standing along the narrow alley. You may have a hard time deciding which stores to go in since the place is home to a wide variety of stores from old stores to fashionable stores.
Many food shops offer a lunch menu around noon and turn into izakaya (bars) at night so the place is enjoyable regardless of the time you visit.
