Recently I have been looking up for places to live in Tokyo. For some reason the name Koenji cross my mind so I decide to pay a short visit. Here is my first impression of it (sorry if a lot of the comment is very surface level)
The shopping street seems cool to me. It is easy to walk with a lot of shops. I am surprised by the amount of vintage clothing shop but there is also good amount of Japanese places that remind me of the older times
One shining point is there is a lot of coffee shop and some looks cool. I love coffee so this is definitely a big plus
Transport wise it is reasonably convenient. Tozai line and sobu line bring you to the center Tokyo fast
There is some kind of vibe that makes me feel unique about the neighborhood. I can't explain why but it feels different from many other places I been to
What is everyone impression about it? I look up some comments online and it seems to have some history with music as well. Would like to hear from everyone especially those who live nearby. Thank you!
