Cutting-edge fashion and art in the back streets of Omotesando in Tokyo
I love walking around Tokyo. Above all, I like to explore those narrow back streets that are hidden behind the main streets. Here, there is always something new to discover, like newly opened cafes and small restaurants. Also, these streets tend to be less crowded.
My last walk took us through the “Azabu-juban” district and its back streets. This time, I’ll go on a walk and explore the back alleys of “Omotesando”, the Minami-Aoyama area. Join me!!
