Sangenjaya Sankaku Chitai

三軒茶屋三角地帯

Sangenjaya, Tokyo · 東京

A wedge of postwar buildings behind Sangenjaya station, filled with izakaya, standing bars and one-room restaurants, largely untouched since the 1950s.

Why it’s worth it

Two stops from Shibuya and almost entirely local. It is small enough to walk in ten minutes and confusing enough that you will not.
