Koenji - Tokyo's Cool Neighborhood | Tokyo Walking Series

#japan #tokyo #koenji #travel #subculture #welcomejapanchannel Hello! This is WELCOME! JAPAN Channel! Have you ever heard about one of the coolest neighborhoods in Tokyo - Koenji? Koenji is famous among the Japanese to be the gathering place of entertainers and celebrities. Walking around its izakaya-packed street may give you a chance to encounter some famous people drinking with each other, given that you can recognize them. It is also the home to an eclectic community of people - musicians, artists, students, and old-time landlords - all united under their fierce love for Koenji’s unique culture. Despite its proximity to the sprawling metropolis of Shinjuku, Koenji maintains a refreshing resistance to development. Through supporting the area’s many small businesses, residents manage to preserve a distinct sense of community and cultural depth. Koenji boasts 13 lively and well-developed “shotengai” or shopping promenades, full of individually owned shops and restaurants, which makes it a unique and fun neighborhood to explore, even for young people nowadays. Come and take a look at this neighborhood with us through this video! :) 00:00 Opening 00:47 Area Introduction 02:18 Mural Arts 04:59 Cafe Garage Dogberry 07:12 Zakka Mikansei 08:40 Junjo Shopping Street 09:56 PAL Shopping Arcade 10:30 Village Vanguard ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All of us working in Japan and would love to share our experiences and useful information in Japan via this channel!
