Shimokitazawa























these last 4 pictures are at a great bar/cafe' called Kamera, right in the middle of Shimokitazawa. the food is so delicious and very reasonable price for the lunch set. i liked it so much, i brought my friend Koichi with me the next time i went! 
カメラカフェがおすすめです!




Shimokitazawa is well known for it's many vintage and thrift stores, ethnic and accessory shops, and also cafe's and little eateries. once you get off the train, you step into colourful streets and alleys filled with shopping and fun things to see! it's definitely a cute little town to get lost in...


here is also a little video i made of my walk through Shimokitazawa! its in HD :-)

Sun! you would love this town!!
i think that shop you are talking about... they do serve coffee, but it was more of a item shop filled with a bunch of pretty and interesting science things :-)
so i guess it IS a hidden treasure shop! hahah
