We started Tabi for travellers who want the story, not just the sight.

Shimokitazawa built its name on small theatres and live music; Koenji on punk, secondhand clothes and its summer Awa Odori dance festival. Both grew from students and artists looking for cheap rent, and both still feel that way.

Good to Know:

Please arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the start time. Running late? Message your guide. After 15 minutes without contact, the tour counts as a no-show and can't be refunded. Some shops do not allow photos inside. Please ask your guide first. Many small shops only take cash, so bring some yen.
