When you first travel to Tokyo and gradually comprehend the city’s layout<\/a>, you’ll realize you’re in the midst of a boundless metropolis. Despite its vastness, however, many visitors stick to conventionally touristy spots, from the traditional neighborhood of Asakusa to the modern and bustling Shinjuku, overlooking non-touristy local spots that are, best of all, not overcrowded. Tokyo has numerous facets and faces, and today, I’ll take you to two underrated neighborhoods in Tokyo: Ogikubo and Nishi-Ogikubo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my first trip to Tokyo, I visited the must-see attractions recommended by every guide. At the same time, I also fell in love with some off-the-beaten-path areas, such as the serene and natural oasis of Oji<\/a>, the bustling local neighborhood of Akabane<\/a>, and the summer festival hotspot of Koenji<\/a>, among others. Now, as a Tokyo resident, I have far better insight into Tokyo’s underrated, walkable neighborhoods. Today, I’ll share two around the JR Chuo Line, which is filled with history, tranquility, and many restaurants to fill your stomach. Welcome to Ogikubo and Nishi-Ogikubo!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
