Join me for another Tokyo walking tour as we return to Koenji, one of Tokyo’s most creative and independent neighborhoods. Koenji is known for its unique atmosphere, vintage shopping streets, live music culture, and the many aspiring comedians, musicians, and actors who call this area home. In this video, we take a relaxed walk through the streets of Koenji and experience the energy and personality that make this part of Tokyo so special. If you enjoy Tokyo street walks, local neighborhoods, and authentic Japan travel videos, please check out the “Returning After Years” playlist for more places revisited across Tokyo.
