What the guides say about Sangenjaya Sankaku Chitai

Sangenjaya. The Sankaku Chitai, a triangle of alleys full of standing bars and tiny counters beside the station, is one of the best nights out in west Tokyo. It's on the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line from Shibuya, not on any line from Shinjuku, and it has very few hotels. Go for the evening.
