  • So this is another video part of my Hidden Spots series

  • and today we're exploring Sangenjaya

  • Sangenjaya is in the Setagaya ward in south-west Tokyo

  • it is only a five minute train ride away from Shibuya station

  • yet it has a completely different atmosphere.

  • It's a calmer old neighbourhood in Tokyo

  • and has a lot of interesting streets and unique shops.

  • Today I'll be showing you one of my favourite cafes in this area,

  • free views of Tokyo from up high,

  • and also the hidden back-alleys where you can enjoy

  • the best local experience of Japanese drinking and eating

  • So are you guys ready to check out this area with me?

  • The first place I went to was this coffee shop called Komeda Coffee.

  • They have more than 400 branches across Japan

  • and it is a very popular coffee shop amongst the locals

  • so sometimes you might have to write your name down

  • and wait a little before they call you.

  • It has a comfortable atmosphere so it's a great place

  • to come alone or with others.

  • And when you come to Japan most places will give you

  • this Oshibori, a wet hand towel, to wipe your hands before you eat

  • I get so use to this that I miss not getting it when I'm overseas

  • There's a lot to choose from but Komeda Coffee is

  • famous for their sandwiches.

  • The food sold here is also a very typical breakfast meal for Japanese

  • Their sweets and coffee's are also very popular here.

  • I wasn't too hungry so I decided to get the egg bun

  • and when you're ready to order just press the bell and they will come

  • So this is what it looked like

  • Komeda Coffee cuts up the egg and mixes it with Japanese mayonnaise

  • which makes it taste really good

  • and actually egg and mayonnaise is a typical filling

  • in Japanese sandwiches.

  • So now let's walk and see the free view

  • from the tallest tower in this area

  • Sangenjaya has a few shopping streets where the locals

  • go to do their everyday shopping

  • It has many different shops so it's very convenient

  • to find what you're looking for.

  • It's really interesting

  • the Japanese infrastructure is really different.

  • and it's so cramped, all these little back alleys

  • they hardly have any gardens

  • so you know, what do the kids do?

  • I mean, when I was a kid I loved to play in the garden

  • but then again I'm from New Zealand

  • so that's all we had, like nature and all that stuff

  • Ah the typhoon is coming, look how windy this is

  • I personally love local areas, as you know,

  • but I also want to show them to people, you know

  • because a lot of people, they don't know how to find it

  • especially if you're a tourist in Tokyo

  • I can see where I'm taking you guys now

  • So this is the building

  • It's free to see a view of Tokyo

  • It's completely free

  • but it's not so well known

  • It's called The Carrot Tower, i'm not too sure why

  • because it doesn't look like a carrot to me.

  • Now we're in the building and we're going to the 26th floor

  • Now take the elevator to the 26th floor

  • and the elevator should be pretty straight forward to find

  • So we are here on the 26th floor

  • and thank god it's not raining because it's typhoon season but

  • ah you probably can't see it, it's too bright

  • right, let me fix that

  • When you first exit the elevator on your left you'll see this view

  • You can see Shinjuku skyscrapers in the background

  • and this is what it looks like when you first enter

  • they have a lot of big windows for you to see the view

  • a lot of people also buy lunch and bring it up to eat here

  • You can see the local neighbourhood and the city in the near distance

  • There are also affordable cafes here

  • And if you have a meal at this restaurant

  • you can enjoy the views of Skytree and Tokyo Tower

  • So near the tower we were just in

  • there is actually a cool little alley way

  • filled with small interesting restaurants and Japanese bars.

  • thats so cool

  • These alley-ways are called 'Yokocho' in Japanese

  • and they can be found all over Japan.

  • When you walk down these alley-ways, it takes you back in time

  • and it has an old, traditional Japanese atmosphere to it.

  • The shops here are smaller than average

  • as it builds a cosy atmosphere for you

  • and the other customers and the shop staff

  • to be able to eat and have conversations.

  • There are also some pretty interesting and hidden away shops

  • so go explore and see what you can find.

  • The Yokocho I just showed you guys now

  • is more of the, what do you call it?

  • the standard one, that most people would know

  • but the one I am at now is more for the locals who live in this area

  • and it looks like a lot of these shops have been going on

  • ah, have been running for a long time

  • A lot of them aren't open yet but look how small they are

  • So at night these shops would be full of people

  • and have a fun atmosphere

  • and it's also a great way to experience drinking and eating like the locals

  • Also there are a lot of different kinds of foods for you to try out and eat

  • And I love how some shops you can just eat on the streets while everyone is walking past

  • So if you want to have a night out and drink and eat the locals way

  • definitely check this area out.

  • So I hope you guys enjoyed this video of the Hidden Spots series

  • and I will be doing much more of these so if you're coming to Tokyo

  • I hope you can add more and more onto your list

  • and if you're not coming to Tokyo i hope you can just see a different side of Tokyo

  • so yeah, I hope to show a lot more of those on my channel here

  • and people are kind of looking at me like a weirdo

  • because I'm sitting on these swirly stairs and taking a video talking to my camera, obviously

  • AAHH OH My god the bugs are on me!

  • oh my god that scared the hell out of me

  • holy crap

  • I hope you guys enjoyed this video

  • please leave a comment down below about some other videos you guys would like to see me do

  • and I will see you in the next video

So this is another video part of my Hidden Spots series
