COOLEST NEIGHBOURHOOD
DAIKANYAMA, TOKYO
Just a short ride from the sensory overload of Shibuya – the world’s busiest intersection – lies the hipster Daikanyama neighbourhood. Characterised by pedestrianised streets, art galleries and independent boutiques, this charming enclave was voted the coolest neighbourhood in Asia by in-the- know Marco Polo Club members. Highlights include the historic Kyu Asakura House, sakura-spotting in Saigoyama Park, shopping at the T-site bookshop and lifestyle boutique and snacking at the numerous artisan cafes.
