When people think about Tokyo, there are obvious places that come to mind: Roppongi, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa, Akihabara etc.
Wouldn't you like to see the real Japan?
Setagaya isn’t a regular tourist hotspot, but there is plenty to see and do and one of the best places to stay when you want to escape the hustle and bustle of central Tokyo and experience a different side of Tokyo.
The atmosphere of urban Setagaya is much more relaxed and down to earth than Tokyo’s Shinjuku or Roppongi.
Gotokuji temple is said to be the birthplace of manekineko (beckoning cat statue). Countless manekineko statues have been left here by people who want to show appreciation to the gods for making their wishes come true, creating a popular photo site.
The Shimotakaido Ekimae Ichiba fish market is right across from the station’s north exit and has a few shops selling fresh fish and sashimi. You ca eat fresh and authemtic sashimi for lunch!
