Updated:6 years, 3 months ago

Tokyo (Japan), Mar 19 (ANI): Shimokitazawa is an area known for its shopping hub with many vintage, second-hand clothing and interior goods shops, theatres, live houses, and cafes available for tourists to explore. The town was once a farming village and has now been turned into a residential area, with a thriving young creative community. After surviving air raids in WWII, this neighborhood was turned into a US second-hand market for soldiers during the occupation period. Parts of that market still exist today. The 70s brought the hippy youth; afterward it has changed to very characteristic town. The most famous thing to do in this area is to explore second-hand shops, which offer a great variety of styles and sizes. There are a lot of shops with good prices. Another huge part of this area is its art scene, with a variety of artists gathering here. Comedian artists and renowned music singer, distinctive artists from various backgrounds come together. Live houses are also a great opportunity to see local talent, as well as a great way to get a glimpse into the creative community here. The great thing about Shimokitazawa is that it extends only over around 10 square blocks, so this area can be explored within one day.
