[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Kagurazaka (Updated Feb)

Kagurazaka was selected by Timeout as one of the 33 coolest streets in the world! Missing it would be a huge loss! This Kagurazaka citywalk that I planned myself is really amazing! I already experienced it for you yesterday, and honestly! I am really, really good at planning routes! Few people, cool, great for strolling, beautiful, delicious, and not tiring! It's truly the ultimate summer Tokyo citywalk route that you won't find anywhere else! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save it! If you miss it, you won't find it again! Route: Akagi Shrine - Neko no Yubinkyoku - Aux Merveilleux de Fred - Seagull Bookstore - AKOMEYA TOKYO - Soseki Sanbo Memorial Museum 1. In your impression, shrines are all ancient, solemn, and simple, but Akagi Shrine breaks this stereotype! It is even called the 'most fashionable' shrine by the Japanese! Designed by Kengo Kuma, it incorporates strong Kengo Kuma characteristics into the unique atmosphere of the shrine, blending modernity with tradition. There is also a shrine café inside, which is a rare and interesting 'mix'. 2. It only takes a 1-minute walk from Akagi Shrine to Neko no Yubinkyoku! A retro store filled with cat-themed items, with a very high cat content! There are so many that you can't even turn around in the store! The vintage telephone at the entrance rings from time to time, and the friendly shop owner will have a warm chat with you, which is really heartwarming! 3. Aux Merveilleux de Fred A very famous French dessert shop! Their Meringue is truly astonishing! Soft and fluffy like a cloud, it melts in your mouth. The meringue is wrapped in cream, dipped in chocolate chips or hazelnut flakes, and one bite will make you melt. 4. Seagull Bookstore A very stylish café bookstore! The moment you open the door, you will feel like you have entered another time and space, instantly relaxing. You can enjoy a cup of coffee on the street while watching people pass by, or immerse yourself in books and goods to experience 'slowing down' time. 5. AKOMEYA TOKYO A great store to browse, and another masterpiece by Kengo Kuma. The building is hidden behind trees, looking low-key yet unique. The two-story store can keep you occupied for more than half an hour. The first floor features seasonal food ingredients and a light meal shop, while the second floor mainly offers tableware, clothing, accessories, and fragrances. 6. Soseki Sanbo Memorial Museum 'The moon is beautiful tonight!' This is the memorial museum of the Japanese literary giant Natsume Soseki! The entire museum is very cute, with the tour route connected by the black cat image from 'I Am a Cat'. If you pay a little attention, you can see the black cats in the corners. The museum is not large, but it has many detailed exhibits. There is also a black cat café and souvenir shop on the first floor. The Soseki Park outside the museum is lush and green, giving a bright and vibrant feeling, and you can also see the cat mound with Natsume Soseki's cats.

A super vibrant area within Lidabashi. There are so much to see here, and this is not the usual tourist spots too. This trendy street is known as Kagurazaka. At Kagurazaka street, there are many restaurants, izakaya and even schools. This street is also closed during certain timing and converted to a walking street. During summer matsuri festival, many people will be here celebrating Odori festival together. There is also a temple Zenkoku-ji Temple along the street and it is worth checking it out too. You can come over here to get away from the crowded Kagurazaka and there are public toilets to use too. #wheretogo #japan #tokyo #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Kagurazaka’s treasure coffee shop ☕️ Specialty coffee from Thailand, right next to the famous bakery Pain des Philosophes in Tokyo Came here for the 🥕radish cake. The moist cake exudes a rich and complex spice flavor. The cream cheese frosting is added with spices such as brown sugar and cinnamon, which is very autumn and winter. The coffee beans are from Thailand, and I ordered a cinnamon maple latte that is also full of winter flavor. It is so warm~ Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window overlooking the small streets of Kagurazaka and the dark green plants in winter, there is nothing better than this Something more chill By the way, their baguette sandwiches (picture 7, taken from the store) use Pain des Philosophes. If the queue for bread is too long, you might as well come here to try this famous bread (and I am next door) I bought a big bag of bread and came here to eat cake🤭 📍Akha Ama Coffee 〒162-0817 1-25 Akagi Motomachi, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 🕕8:00-19:00 (open every day) #Tokyo #Tokyo Free Travel #Tokyo Food
