Shimokitazawa is the bohemian, hipster neighbourhood where Japan's coolest inhabitants spend their spare cash and free time. Join an expert guide this morning on a shared meander around this incredible part of Tokyo.
Make sure you have plenty of room in your suitcases for the hoard of vintage treasure you are sure to take away with you. As well as plenty of outlets selling pre-loved records, antiques and clothing, the alleyways of 'Shimo' contain some of the city's best cafes, restaurants and edgy bars. Enjoy some lunch and a suitably trendy coffee before bidding the group farewell, to explore some more hidden gems for yourself.
