In 2016, the movie "Has Kichijoji the only street that I want to live in " became popular. The starring are two sisters with both figures and appearances far from the public's aesthetics, and a slightly "neurotic" extremely socially terrified otaku. The plot of the story is that Sisters take you to see all over Tokyo, and the core is that although the world is not worth it, life still has a small blessing. The drama finally got a Douban score of 8.7, and it is known as the real estate version of the late-night cafeteria.
Some time ago, typhoon came in Tokyo, and invited a group of friends to come to Ropongmu to drink and chat. Friends come from all over the world. There are old British Beatles , young French guys, and irritable guys from Brazilian , and fashionable hot girls from Korean. The only thing in common is that these friends have been in Tokyo for a long time, and the shortest one has been around for seven or eight years. By the way, I would like to ask a question: without thinking about the money, which stations you want to live in the most. Sure enough, I talked about sex late at night, and I was very excited regardless of nationality or gender. After I recorded
, I found today's content. You can also let you understand what people from all over the world have about various blocks in Tokyo. First of all, the neighborhoods listed in this article are ranked in no particular order and are highly subjective. Finally, each station in Japan is about one block. For the sake of convenience, the following blocks are general stations, so don’t argue about this.
#1
Nishinjuku
In the eyes of many foreigners, judging how far a house is from the city center is about the same as how far apart it is from Shinjuku . This is a bit arbitrary, but it actually makes some sense. There are countless food streets, commercial streets, and the world-famous Kabukicho Ichiban Street in Shinjuku.
During the day, you can watch the Tokyo Metropolitan Hall Observatory Tokyo Tower , Tokyo Bay, Sky Tower , Mount Fuji . It can be said that it is full of landmarks in Tokyo. At night, you can stay in the Presidential Suite of Park Hyatt Shinjuku for 1 million yen a night. Holding a cup of whiskey overlooking the night of Tokyo, you will be indulged in luxury and all at your feet.
Here is another cold knowledge. Currently, the so-called Tokyo night view aerial photos seen on Google are 70% from Shinjuku. So it is true that this place meets the imagination of foreigners about Tokyo.
But some people say it is too noisy and people are coming and going too noisy. While wanting to enjoy prosperity, I want to be independent of the world. No problem, humans are sometimes that inch, so let’s take a look at Nishishishijuku.
Nishinjuku Cycling for ten minutes to get to the world's largest station Shinjuku Station , enjoy the prosperity. It takes 7 minutes to reach Chutai Station, a series of commercial streets from the Showa era, as well as the Tokyo Opera House and the New National Theater, and both art and life are available. Reception of relatives and friends, from the street lover hotel, to Kaiyue, , Hilton , Park Hyatt. The wallet cried one by one. Day shopping Isetan and NEWoman, night entertainment has Golden Street, 300 restaurants and izakayas. As for , Kabukicho , there may be more than 300 stores everywhere. I won’t talk about this topic. If you have the opportunity, let Lao Yang come to give you popular science.
final comment: This neighborhood was selected, and friends from all over the world liked it. Even the local Japanese girls nodded frequently. Noisy and tranquility coexist, and prosperity dances with life. Who else can I do?

3 Ebisu
Ebisu
Ebisu is known as the Shibuya elegant palace, and the bigger reason why this neighborhood has become popular around the world is the legendary girl group Ebisu Muscat Grapes back then. This group consists of actors, idols, dancers, and models. It is known as "adult version AKB48". I will simply read a few members' names, and you can feel the value of this combination: Sora Aoi, RIO, Angel Moe, Kojima Nan, Aoji, Akira Yoshizawa, Yua Mikami, Maria Ozawa, Kira Asuka. But that's OK.
But Ebisu's charm is far more than that. " Tokyo Women's Picture Book " says that this is the place where all Tokyo women want to be proposed the most. A young man from Tokyo said: Those who can live here are rich women. The old man said: There are a large number of high-end handicraft shops here, which is a reflection of Japan's heritage. The children said: This is the best place to enjoy cherry blossoms during spring outings.
exits the station and is the landmark building: Ebisu Garden Square. Michelin restaurant and large department stores are located in it, and there is also the Tokyo Photo Gallery. The World Report Photo Exhibition is held every year
. The front one stop is Shibuya, the trendy trend of Japanese in front, and the back two stops are adult paradise Roppongi, the left one stop is the cherry blossom viewing resort Nakameguro, and the right one stop is the literary and artistic holy place generation Guanshan . Ebisu, who is in the center, has the passion of art and the warmth of life.
final comment: can be literary, adult, trendy, and lively. The geographical location also has Yamanote line . In 2018 and 2019, the "The Most Ideal Area for Residence in Tokyo" ranked second, and deserved it.

33My late-night question is: Which block do you want to live in most without considering money? Everyone gave two or three answers, but no matter how they chose, the choices of these men and women who have lived in Tokyo for more than ten years include this block: Amabu Shiban, without exception.
This is a place where foreigners know very little, but Tokyo people flock to it. Let me first briefly introduce the geographical location of Mabu Shiban.
Amabu Shiban is located in Minato District, Tokyo, with an average annual income of 12 million yen. Even if calculated based on the lowest yen exchange rate in history, , it is equivalent to RMB 600,000. The welfare of local residents is the best in Japan. Located here is the Tokyo landmark Tokyo Tower, embassies of more than 80 countries, 5 TV stations, and countless high-end private international schools.
Rich people, celebrities, and politicians gather. Seiko founder Hattori Kane Taro, and SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son both live here. , , and , is divided into five districts: Amabu, Akasaka, Shiba, Takara, and Konan. Among the top ten blocks in Japan where people earn 10 million annually want to live most, Minato District holds six seats, among which Amabu Ten is the first.
Azubu Shiban has been a representative of Tokyo's rich district since the Meiji era 150 years ago. Unlike the traditional rich districts imagined by outsiders, it looks a little older here. The house is old and the shop is old. The overall pace of life is very slow. Compared with the hurrying streets of Shinjuku, it seems that everyone is very leisurely here. You can see a decades-old or even a century-old shop in just a few steps. The overall new buildings are far less than the new buildings in Tokyo Bay.
high-end towers and ordinary courtyards are arranged in a staggered manner. If you walk into these courtyards, you will find that in two or three parking spaces per capita, Rolls-Royce , Lamborghini , Ferrari , and Maybach are all routine operations. What is even more surprising is that there are a large number of stone roads with historical precipitation here, so if you go to Mabu Shifan Street, you will often see a scene where the Lamborghini owner drives a performance monster and is moving forward quickly on the stone road. By the way, I would like to remind you that if you come to travel, it is not recommended to drive there. The parking fee here is around 400-600 yen on average for 10 minutes. Equivalent to RMB 120-180 per hour.
final comment: The perfect fusion of history and modernity, the ultimate representative of old money, the best choice for the rich in Tokyo.

3Akasaka
I just mentioned it, and mentioned the neighborhood I yearn for. The port area is an unavoidable place. After Amabu Ten, Akasaka, located in Minato District, also made the list with high votes.
If Amabu Shiban Lao Qian's strict atmosphere is too heavy, then Akasaka undoubtedly has a lot of market.This place is known as a food paradise in the Hong Kong area, and catering from all over the world gathers here. French, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese cuisine, and people from all over the country can find their favorite one here. As for the price, from , Michelin to street shops, department stores should be worth 100 people. During the day, white-collar workers are entering the office building and bowing their heads to their desks. At night, the urban beauty of Omotesando, the restless men and women of Shibuya, and the politicians of National Assembly Hall, gather here. Large stall outdoor tables and chairs can be seen everywhere and romantic dates in high-end restaurants. It is harmonious but not inconsistent with each other. The overall atmosphere has both the unique nobleness of the port area and the lifestyle that the market should have.
As for the geographical location Ginza line , Marunouchi line, Chiyoda line, and North-South line, four lines run through Akasaka. It is one of the well-deserved transportation hubs.
final comment: "urban aliens" in the wealthy area, food paradise in the port area, and undisputed convenient transportation.
#5
Ueno
I believe that friends who live or travel in Tokyo must be familiar with Ueno. The Sensoji Temple that must be checked in, the 2D holy land Akihabara , and the Himuri, where the Heisei Express starts. All of them are spread around Ueno.
And these are just around Ueno. Ueno itself has the cute giant panda Ueno Zoo , the Japanese museum benchmark Tokyo National Museum , the Tokyo Art Museum, Ueno Park , the garden Inari Shrine, which prays for marriage. Here I will focus on Ueno Park. This is a place that all friends who live in Tokyo, including me, like it very much. It can be viewed, taken a walk, dated, dazed, and prayed for blessings.
Whether it is a family trip, a couple date or a single walk, it is a very good place to go. And occasionally there are independent musicians playing and singing themselves here, without the rock style like Shinjuku, nor the folk style like Takata Racecourse. I feel like an artist, that is, there is a guy who is quietly playing harmonica there.
In addition, University of Tokyo is also near Ueno, and the campus is open to everyone, including tourists all year round. In summary, my personal feeling about Ueno has always been that the transportation here is convenient, the business is prosperous, humanistic, artistic, academic and touristy. Whether it is an ordinary young man, a literary young man, or even a middle school young man, you can find his own rhythm here.
Finally, I said an easter egg: According to a man surnamed Yang, housewives and young girls often hold various meetings and class reunions here. He occasionally goes to guest-star and helps and makes friends.
Final comment: Viewing cherry blossoms in spring, fireworks in summer, exhibitions in autumn, and blessings in winter. I can't think of a reason not to love this place.

Down Kitazawa
You should have discovered that all the six blocks mentioned above are located on the Yamanote line. This once again gives the proof that the Tokyo core is standing around the Yamanote line. Then, except for these stations on the Yamanote Line, aren’t the blocks on other lines qualified for names? So the neighborhood we are going to talk about next, let’s talk about some non-Yamanote blocks
Speaking of this, the first reaction of many young friends is Shimokitazawa.
Here is known as the gathering place for Tokyo's literary youth, theaters, galleries, coffee shops, vintage shops, and various LIVEs. As soon as I walked out of the station, there seemed to be a lot fewer grandparents visible on the streets of Tokyo, and there were young people everywhere. If you just go in, the owner will subvert your impression of traditional Japanese. There is no kneeling service for Ginza , no Shinjuku's care, and the style that literary youths should have. Look at yours, they do what they do. It's this kind of force.Here is the Honta Theater where new actors gather underground idols, and there is also a beer bookstore where you drink booby in broad daylight. There is also the NEW YORK JOE EXCHANGE second-hand clothing store transformed from a bathhouse.
Finally, let me tell you a cold knowledge: Shimokitazawa does not have a police station, and there are Kuoshikan University nearby, Meiji University , which gathers a large number of young and restless artists and students, so a large number of street graffiti culture was born. This is very rare in Japan.
If you are tired of Japanese rules, if you are a little literary and artistic, or even keen on expressing yourself, you are free and unrestrained. Shimokitazawa should be worth a visit.
Final comment: Literary and artistic youth gathering place, subculture paradise, and has been rated as the neighborhood that young people yearn for the most for many years.

Iidabashi, Kagurazaka
If anyone has seen the Tokyo subway line map, then which block can be seen at a glance with the Yamanote line as the center and the circle is in the center. There is no doubt that it should be the Iidabashi and Kagurazaka areas. These two blocks are usually put together, so there is no special distinction here.
First talk about the geographical location, here is located in the political center Chiyoda District, the commercial center Shinjuku District , the cultural center Fujin District , and the intersection of the three districts. Iidabashi is intersected by the Chuo Line, the East-West Line, the North-South Line, the Oedo Line, the Auracho Line, the Chuo Sobu Line, and the six tram lines. It takes 20 minutes to reach Shinjuku, Ikebukuro , Ginza, Akasaka, Ueno, Waseda, almost all the prosperous, tourist and literary places in Tokyo. The overall atmosphere of Iidabashi is more business-oriented, with towers and large companies standing in hand. Kagurazaka is generally leisurely. This place was once the flower street of geisha during the Taisho period, so a large number of slate paths of during the Edo period were retained, among which the "geisha path" is the most famous, with gentle sunshine, mottled tree shadows, and elegant geisha. A casual shot is a literary blockbuster.
and there are many temples here, the famous Tokyo Grand Temple, Hosunko Temple, are all here, next to it is Waseda University, one of the two kings of the Empire.
Tell me about hot knowledge. One of the offices of the company is located at a 5-minute walk from Waseda University. Every evening, I like to go to the top floor to sit for a while, young students and leisurely walks old people. The shadows stretching under the setting sun are all youth.
Final comment: is in a prosperous place, but you can enjoy a rare slow time. Who doesn’t love such a place?

333331927, Japanese educator Kita-ae Tezuka founded the Freedom Academy, hoping to spread the concept of liberalism. In 1932, with the expansion of the territory of Tokyo, the Meguro District was established, and the Free Hill area followed.
From a geographical point of view, you can reach the luxurious Ebisu, the young Shibuya, and the lively Yokohama within a 30-minute drive. The entire bustling area of western Tokyo is at your fingertips. The real charm of the Hill of Freedom lies in the strong atmosphere of life here. Japan is known as the kingdom of grocery stores, and centered on the Freedom Hill Station, it gathers thousands of stores including clothing stores, grocery stores, restaurants, snack shops, beauty salons, etc. It is a very rare neighborhood in Tokyo that can almost meet all living and entertainment needs without leaving home.
and because we are in a typical literary and artistic area like Mehei District, the overall quality and cleanliness of residents have always been among the best in Tokyo. Many artists gather here, and walking into a niche cafe or cake shop on the street can bring all kinds of surprises. Very suitable for couples to date. During this late-night survey, the Hill of Freedom was on the list when almost all of the friends who were married or in love said their favorite neighborhoods.
Final comment: Can anyone refuse freedom?

Kikeji
Hikeji
Hikeji content starts with Kichikeji, and then ends with Kichikeji. Kichijoji, a magical place. It has been ranked first in Tokyo's most wanted neighborhoods for many years. Among the traditional neighborhoods that you want to live in the most is the cost-effectiveness of living in this place, and we said bluntly at the beginning of this ranking, not considering the economic situation.
So some traditional non-Tokyo 23 players are on the list, such as Yokohama and Omiya. Although Kichijoji is no longer in the 23rd area, this is definitely one of the must-have options in the eyes of friends or personal thoughts. The extremely developed commercial street, all the conveniences needed for life, countless common people's restaurants, and the unique Inotao Park. If I choose a street in the non-23 district, I feel that this is the best choice, no one.
Cartoonist who needs to start living alone after breaking up with his lover in the play, a newcomer in society who is bullied by his colleagues in the company, an unfamous ghostwriter, a divorced housewife who likes girl groups, and a former white-collar worker who is obsessed with the movie... They came to Kichijoji, because of various reasons, hoping to forget the past and start a new life again from this prosperous and convenient place.
But, they met Shigeta Real Estate in Kichichiji, twin sisters who like rock and roll, and a real estate agent composed of a clerk with a communication disorder but rich in heart. Their biggest preference is to introduce everyone who wants to live in Kichichiji to live outside of Kichichiji.
video put aside all the outerwear, and in the end, maybe I just want to tell people one thing: There is a place in the world called Tokyo's Kichijoji, which is full of vitality and bustle. People come and go, hoping to get a life here that can make you feel at ease. But the bigger part of the world is the world outside of Kichijoji Temple. In the end, no matter where people are deep, please don’t forget: where my heart is at peace, my home is my home.
