Shimokitazawa is an area in central Tokyo that feels like a small town or even a village. It’s situated around 7 mins by train from Shinjuku on the Odakyu line and about 4 minutes from Shibuya on the Inokashira Line. The station is an express and a local station and also is connected to the Chiyoda line making it very central indeed. In 2013, the Odakyu line was moved underground in an amazing feat of engineering with all the trains ceasing and moving to underground tunnels overnight. What was left was a track-sized space through the centre of Shimokitazawa. No more waiting for the crossings, no more crossing sounds, barriers or train spotting. What happened next was really cool. Small developments cropped up along the underground section of the track which went underground at Higashi Kitazawa and out the other side at Setagaya Daita. 1. HIGASHI KITAZAWA STATION 2.
