Welcome to Shimokitazawa, Tokyo's most hipster neighborhood! It is known for its many thrift and vintage stores, used music shops, and unique foods (like adorable Totoro cream puffs!). In this vlog we're showing you some of Shimokitazawa's most loved food spots, going thrifting in some of Tokyo's best secondhand shops (also known as recycle stores here), and enjoying the scenery around the neighborhood and local parks!

We're Brandi & Alan, full-time travelers and creators since 2018. We post fun vlogs and informative guides to both document our travels and help you on your own journey.

As an added bonus, we later head to Shibuya to meet with Japanese interview youtubers, ‪@takidejapon6648‬ and ‪@takashiifromjapan‬! (and ask them a couple of questions! lol)
