If you’ve lived in Tokyo, chances are you’ve heard of Inokashira park in Kichijoji. But did you know that there’s a collection of small streets on the edge of the park on the Kichijoji side (in Minamicho) that has a collection of small restaurants, thrift stores, and 雑貨店 (zakkaten, stores selling a variety of goods)?

To get there, exit on the south side of the station, cross the road and head towards the Marui (O1O1) department store. This place is a great place to pass through if you want to grab a drink and some food and chill at Inokashira Park.
