To whoever recommended that I stay in Shimokitazawa in Tokyo, I want to formally thank you. Even after exploring Tokyo for a whole week, this neighborhood did remain my favorite. It's artsier and more quaint than the big neighborhoods that they normally suggest you stay in the first time you go to Tokyo. It's filled with vintage and thrift stores. I was very artistically inspired just walking around here. Our Airbnb was perfect. This is the exact listing. It was near so many cute things. Close to the train stop and reasonably priced. We even had a cozy movie night. This coffee shop was a five minute walk away. We went, like, every day, and the guy knew our order by the end. Very much recommend visiting Shimokitazawa.
