Koenji Vintage Clothing Street

Koenji, situated along the Chuo Line, rivals Shimokitazawa as Tokyo's vintage clothing mecca. Over 100 vintage shops are scattered around the station, offering a diverse range of styles including American casual, vintage, European vintage, and reworked vintage pieces. Compared to Shimokitazawa, prices are more reasonable, and the probability of finding hidden gems is high—another major attraction. The lively shopping streets including PAL Shopping Street and Junjō Shopping Street are also worth visiting. The Awa Odori festival held every August draws approximately 1 million people as a symbol of Tokyo's summer.
