Daikanyama

Location: Daikanyama station on the Toyoko line

Daikanyama, conveniently located one stop from Shibuya Station is one of the ultra hip design and fashion areas of Tokyo. You will need to fan out from the station in all directions as the shops are often hidden down unassuming back streets and alleys.

The main flavour here is clothing, although there are a healthy smattering of cafes, design stores, and even the odd hip music store.

Bustling with the young and fashionable during the weekend, or laid back and elegant during the week days. Daikanyama is also a well known night spot for the affluent and glamorous. You will find world class restaurants and trendy night clubs hidden among the labyrinth of small winding streets which fan out from the station.
