Around Daikanyama
Tokyo's calmest stylish quarter
Daikanyama is what happens when a neighbourhood has money but no interest in showing off. Low-rise streets, slow boutiques, and T-Site, a bookshop campus so good it became a destination in its own right. It's a fifteen minute walk from Shibuya and feels like a different city.
Daikanyama has 3 places on the Roam Tokyo map: 1 cafe, 1 shop and 1 neighbourhood. Read the Daikanyama guide.
