Shimokitazawa, Tokyo
Shimokitazawa, take it slow
An early browse, something to eat, and an optional record at the end.
Start at BONUS TRACK while your chosen shops are still open. Choose a book, browse records or find an early dinner, then decide whether an upstairs music bar suits the rest of your night.
Begin before dinner
Pick a shop at BONUS TRACK
Check the directory before leaving. Tenant hours differ, so arrive for the particular shop rather than expecting the whole site to stay open late.
Before you goFollow your appetite
Make dinner the main event
Choose an open food tenant or a neighbourhood restaurant with a menu you like. This is also a good place to end a no-alcohol evening.
An optional final record
Continue to Little Soul Cafe
If you want the bar stop, locate the second-floor address and ask about seating and charges. Leave enough time to listen.
Before you goA change of plan
If the shops you want are closed, choose dinner nearby. If you prefer not to visit a bar, end after the food and walk back to the station.
A good way home
Check the route home from your final stop. Keep your departure time independent of a shop or bar’s closing time.
