walking around Togoshi Ginza in the afternoon
Located in the Togoshi district of Shinagawa and fed by two separate train lines, Togoshi Ginza is stitched into the seams of the city. There’s more than just a humming energy about this place, there’s an air of authenticity that beats through the streets. Home to decades-old specialized shops and a wonderfully working-class food scene, it’s an area that knows its worth to the heritage of downtown Tokyo.

The main shopping street, spanning a length of 1.3 kilometres, is far from modern. Cut in half by the rails of the Ikegami Line, without neon lights, loud advertising, and with miraculously buried cables instead of Tokyo’s usual tangle of overhead wires, Togoshi Ginza has managed to retain a classic Japanese shopping district atmosphere without any pretence. And it’s popular. There’s so many people packed into this sliver of a street on a Saturday that it makes you wonder how you’ve been left out of the secret for so long.
