Tokyu Oimachi Line Recommendations

Tanomi Jiyugaoka (*Free Tokyo Coupon)

A visit to Shibuya is on just about any Tokyo itinerary, but if you’re ready to escape the frantic crowds of this busy neighborhood and enjoy a slightly more relaxed atmosphere, we recommend Jiyugaoka, located about 12 minutes away on the Tokyu Toyoko Line. The name of this trendy Tokyo hotspot, which literally means “Hill of Freedom,” matches the area’s breezy vibes, with streets that locals like to say resemble cities overseas, lined with plenty of stylish boutiques and cute cafes. One of these is Tanomi, a cafe with its own shop offering miso, dashi, and other ingredients used to make healthy Japanese food, as well as a wide range of tableware and lifestyle goods.

One of the most popular parts of Tanomi is their gelato corner on the first floor, a branch of Aloha Cafe. The original Aloha Cafe is a gelato specialty shop in Yurihama, Tottori Prefecture, run by a renowned pastry chef. Here at the Tanomi branch, you can try 10 different flavors – if you use the Tokyu Railways Enjoy Tokyo Top to Bottom Coupon (we’ll call it the Tokyu Coupon), you can get a scoop entirely for free! The gelato is made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients from Tottori, and many of the flavors are unusual and intriguing, or uniquely Japanese, like sansho pepper, golden sesame, and cassis (black currant). You won’t want to miss this unique sweet treat while you’re in Japan!

The Gotoh Museum

While you’re in the area, Kaminoge Station is only about seven minutes from Jiyugaoka on the Tokyu Oimachi Line, and five minutes from the station you’ll find the Gotoh Museum. This museum offers a chance to admire precious calligraphy, paintings, ceramics, and other artifacts from before the Meiji era (which began in 1868). The collection includes works designated as National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties of Japan, so it’s a must-see spot for anyone interested in Japan’s cultural heritage!

In addition to the art and artifacts, one of the museum’s highlights is its serene Japanese garden, which feels a world away from the crowds of most Tokyo tourist attractions. Tree lovers will be excited to hear that the garden includes trees selected to be part of the 100 Notable Trees of Setagaya (the local Tokyo ward), as well as flower patches that bloom throughout the changing seasons. Make a reservation at the teahouse and you can even enjoy a leisurely cup of tea while enjoying the views! On clear days, this hidden gem of a spot also offers views of Mt. Fuji, making this tranquil garden the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Tokyu Toyoko Line Recommendations

Kosugi Curry (*Free Tokyo Coupon)

Musashi-Kosugi is a key Tokyu transportation hub connecting central Tokyo with Kawasaki and Yokohama, and with so many Tokyo locals passing through every single day, the area has flourished. In recent years the convenient connecting point has become a vibrant neighborhood, full of trendy restaurants and bustling shopping malls. It’s not a big tourist area but it is easy to access using your Tokyu Line 1-Day Pass – visit to enjoy a little glimpse of everyday Tokyo, and while you’re in the area, don’t miss the rich and flavorful curry creations at Kosugi Curry!

Japan has adopted curry and made the dish its own in the past century or so, but unlike most Japanese curry shops, Kosugi Curry has developed over 400 varieties and more than 160 creative combinations to date! The shop blends spices to craft deep, richly flavorful original curry varieties, and complements the sauce dishes with sometimes surprising toppings that maximize umami and will have you wishing you could go back to Japan for more. Right now you can use the Tokyu Coupon to enjoy a three-curry sampler for free, so you can savor multiple tempting flavors in one visit. Since many of the menu items change every two weeks, you can check the Kosugi Curry social media accounts for the latest updates before your visit.

Keihin Fushimi Inari Shrine

After satisfying your worldy needs at Kosugi Curry, head right around the corner to visit the Keihin Fushimi Inari Shrine. While Kyoto’s Fushimi Inari Taisha is Japan’s most famous fox shrine (known largely for its many, many brilliant vermillion gates), Musashi-Kosugi also boasts its own branch of the shrine, with a similar look on a smaller scale – Keihin Fushimi Inari Shrine.

Within the shrine grounds you’ll find 108 enshrined fox statues, which are considered symbols of good fortune. Look down, and you might be able to tell that the shrine is actually built on a foundation of lava rock from Mt. Fuji, which is said to further enhance its auspicious aura. It’s a great spot for a leisurely stroll after a big meal!

Directions: 6 min on foot from Musashi-Kosugi Station (Tokyu Toyoko Line)

Tokyu Ikegami Line Recommendations

Goto Kamaboko (*Free Tokyo Coupon)

Despite the name, Togoshi Ginza is not in the Ginza area, but it is actually Tokyo’s longest shopping street! Accessible via the Tokyu Ikegami Line, you won’t want to miss the 1.3 km stretch, renowned for its diverse array of eateries and long-established shops! Among them, we recommend a visit to Goto Kamaboko, a specialty store dedicated to authentic handmade kamaboko fish cakes. It’s easy to get to using the Tokyu Line 1-Day pass, and it’s beloved by locals thank to its selection of snacks and other prepared dishes, which offer a true taste of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Goto Kamaboko sells a variety of handmade kamaboko made from fresh fish, as well as mouth-watering fried snacks, and freshly prepared oden (fish cakes and vegetables simmered in a savory broth). Some places only offer oden during the winter, but Goto offers it all year round! Their oden croquettes are particularly popular, made by mixing oden ingredients together, coating them in bread crumbs, and deep-frying the lumps to a delicious golden brown! Their menchi-katsu (a fluffy deep-fried ground meat patty) also has its own fans. With the Tokyu Coupon, you can try both of these beloved local snacks for free! So if you’re ready to savor some indulgent treats while soaking in the nostalgic retro atmosphere of Togoshi Ginza, be sure to head over using your Tokyu Line 1-Day Pass and take advantage of the Tokyu Coupon!

Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line Recommendations

Wa Kitchen Kanna (*Free Tokyo Coupon)

Sangenjaya has been attracting more and more attention in recent years, but the charms of this refreshing neighborhood are still largely undiscovered by foreign travelers, despite its easy accessibility from Shibuya via the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line. Known as one of Tokyo’s iconic “uptown” areas, Sangenjaya is filled with quaint alleys and stylish shops, and the abundance of artistic cafes and unique dining establishment have made it especially popular among those who enjoy leisurely food and cafe tours.

For a taste of Sangenjaya’s unique ambiance, we recommend visiting Wa Kitchen Kanna, a specialty sweets shop with a peaceful atmosphere. While traditional Japanese kakigori is typically made by pouring vibrantly artificial syrups over shaved ice, Kanna elevates the experience by blending seasonal fruit and other ingredients with traditional Japanese confections and surprising modern flavors to deliver a premium shaved ice experience.

The homemade syrups are poured over mountains of delicately soft and fluffy ice for a luxurious dessert experience, with flavors like purple sweet potato, matcha, mitarashi (a sweet-and-salty soy glaze), kinako (roasted soybean), and yuzu. Use the Tokyu Coupon and you can add a topping for free (up to 200 yen), so you won’t want to miss this chance to indulge in a unique shaved ice treat while relaxing in the cozy, aesthetically pleasing, uniquely Sangenjaya space.
