ABOUT THIS PODCAST:
Kichijōji isn’t on every tourist’s Tokyo itinerary — but ask any local, and it’s the first place they’ll name. From the retro glow of Harmonica Alley to the bustling energy of Sunroad Shopping Street, this neighborhood blends old-school charm with hip creativity.
In this Japan PODCAST, I explore Kichijōji’s most iconic corners:
🍢 Late-night yakitori in packed alley bars
🎷 Underground jazz bars and hidden vintage shops
🌳 Peaceful strolls through Inokashira Park, one of Tokyo’s most beautiful green escapes
🛍️ Local markets, capsule arcades, and more
We’ll dive into its Edo-period roots, explore its modern-day magic, and I’ll show you why this is one of the best places to feel like a real Tokyoite — not just a visitor.
And if you’re planning a Japan trip and want a taste of the Tokyo locals actually love, this is it.
