The local guide to Tokyo

Konnichiwa from Tokyo! Forget Shibuya crossing (just kidding, go!), but spend an afternoon in Shimokitazawa for vintage finds & indie vibes. Learn 'Otsukaresama deshita' - you'll hear it everywhere after work! Psst...melon pan is your new fave snack. Did you know Tokyo was once called Edo?
