i’d say i’ve explored a good amount of tokyo since arriving 8 months ago. pretty much hit all the major hoods…harajuku (every weekend it seems), shibuya, shinjuku, ebisu, ueno, ginza, aoyama, roppongi, etc. but of them all daikanyama has recently hit the top of my favorites list, surpassing even harajuku. there’s something about the place that makes it seem like you’re getting away from tokyo…while you’re right in the heart of it. it has that neighborhood feeling that is so difficult to create in a city of 30+ million people living elbow to elbow in the most dense city on earth. it has great food, excellent shopping, a respectable cafe culture and good streets for strolling – plus it’s home to tokyo’s second Supreme location! here are some photo’s from a day in daikanyama

that line in the background is for eggs…yes, a ‘pop-up’ breakfast joint from australia was open for just one month…tokyo-ites will line up for anything!
