Just a 10-minute train ride from Shinjuku Station lies Ogikubo. Here, local residents enjoy exceptional restaurants and independent shops, many of which remain undiscovered by international travelers. On this site, you’ll have the chance to glimpse the unpretentious side of Tokyo.

In Ogikubo, dining options range from refined Kappo restaurants to casual Izakaya. Renowned for its exceptional ramen and Japanese curry, the neighborhood also offers satisfying teisyoku (set meals) for around ¥1,000. Where to eat is entirely up to you.
