[The Charm of Koenji]

The dining district around Koenji Station’s north exit is more than just a commercial area.

It is a neighborhood shaped by the passion and energy of people who lived through turbulent times.

Its history dates back to the early Showa period.

During the chaotic years after the war, people came together to support black markets and small independent shops so that the lights of everyday life would not go out, gradually creating the foundation of the townscape we see today.

This symbolizes the neighborhood’s resilient vitality and the strong determination of the people who hoped for recovery and renewal.

After that, Koenji continued to develop as a commercial hub and has supported the daily lives of many people for decades.

What is especially striking is the townscape of today.

In the old backstreets, rows of barrack-style shops that strongly retain the atmosphere of the Showa era line the alleys, creating a nostalgic scene that feels as if time has stood still.

At the same time, right next door, new shops full of fresh ideas and a spirit of challenge continue to appear, bringing visitors a sense of surprise and excitement.

Koenji is not simply a place for reminiscing about the past. It is a vibrant neighborhood where you can feel the pulse of people fully enjoying the present moment.

The warm, nostalgic atmosphere of a good old era coexists with the energetic liveliness created by the intersection of old and new.

It is precisely this exquisite contrast that makes Koenji truly one of a kind and leaves a deep impression on all who visit.

Maximum reservation size: up to 5 people per group.

[The Charm of Asagaya]

Time flows through Asagaya Shopping Street not only in a calm and quiet way.

There is also the living weight of a history built step by step by people who overcame countless hardships.

That story dates back to the Edo period.

This area was once bustling as a "pilgrimage road," where people walked with prayers in their hearts. During the reconstruction period after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the foundation of the current townscape gradually took shape.

It was the crystallization of the strong vitality of people determined to rise again no matter how great the hardship.

After the war as well, roads were improved through the tireless efforts of local residents, and the town grew even more lively and radiant.

Then, in 1954, the Asagaya Tanabata Festival, which can be called the soul of this town, was born.

Today, this festival has grown into a major event that captivates many people, and in 2025 it became such a grand celebration that approximately 1.1 million people visited during its five-day run.

Maximum reservation capacity: up to 5 people per group.

[The Appeal of Nakano Broadway]

Nakano Broadway is not merely a building or a shopping complex.

It is a place like a time capsule, filled with the passage of time and the passionate feelings of what people love.

As you pass through the shopping arcade and step into the stately building, you are enveloped in a feeling as if you have been instantly cut off from the “present.”

The bustle of the basement floor, the vivid sense of everyday life on the first floor, and the growing energy of otaku culture as you move upward through the building—all of these intersect in complex ways to create a multilayered world.

In addition, the restaurant district around Nakano Broadway is home to a wide variety of eateries, ranging from long-established shops that retain the atmosphere of the Showa era to stylish new establishments.

From standing bars, izakaya, bars, set-meal restaurants, ramen shops, yakiniku restaurants, and curry shops to many other options, you will find an energetic dining scene day and night across a broad range of Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine.

Out-of-print books and retro toys displayed in aged showcases awaken childhood admiration and passions long forgotten.

It feels like traveling across time and space, where nostalgia and the joy of new discoveries arrive at the same time.

One reason Nakano Broadway continues to captivate people is that, while it is a sacred place for otaku culture, it is also a place where people actually live their daily lives.

This human, multifaceted charm is what makes Nakano Broadway truly one of a kind.

Here, anyone can openly express what they love and meet others who share the same passion.

And it is precisely within this complex, eclectic, labyrinth-like space that we can discover the irreplaceable treasure of being ourselves.
