Shin Okubo is the biggest Korean neighbourhood in Tokyo. It’s located one stop from Shinjuku Station on the JR Yamanote Line. The area is home to countless shops selling Korean products and foods. In this district, you can find everything from Korean cosmetics, to K-pop merchandise as well as a plethora of Korean restaurants. Approximately 500 different businesses are located in this area.
As you can see in this video, the sidewalks and alleys are very narrow, and the district can get unpleasantly crowded at times, particularly on weekends.
This was filmed on a weekend in July 2019
I hope you like this travel video from Tokyo. Please let me know if there are any other places you would like to see me visit, or if you have any other opinions about my movies. I would also be more than happy to hear if you have any ideas on what I can do to make my videos better / more interesting.
