It boasts elegant cafes and bars, as well as many old-fashioned Japanese pubs and public eateries, creating a unique street atmosphere. Away from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya and the neon lights of Shinjuku, Shimokitazawa offers a stylish and relaxed atmosphere. As a creative center that is just a few minutes’ drive from the heart of Tokyo, it is home to many small theaters, mini concert venues, live music bars, and more, making it a hub for youth culture.
In March 2019, Odakyu announced the development of the 1.7-kilometer“Shimokita Line Street” centered on Shimokitazawafrom the nearby Setagaya-Daita station to Higashi-kitazawa station underground. The Shimokita Line Street project includes the establishment of 13 facilities such as renting outdoor venues for events, a street lined with unique shops, a student dormitory, a nursery school, and hot spring inns.
