Setagaya
世田谷区
Tokyo's most populous ward and a laid-back escape: vintage shops in Shimokitazawa, hundreds of lucky cats at Gotokuji, the green Todoroki Valley and Sangenjaya's small bars.

Good to know
- Gotokuji is a quiet working temple. Look at the maneki-neko quietly and don't block the path.
- Todoroki Valley is a short leafy walk right next to Todoroki Station.
- Shimokitazawa's vintage shops mostly open late morning, so go after 11 a.m.
