I Visited Tokyo’s Trendy Side: Nakameguro & Daikanyama — Day 24

Konichiwa everybody. This is day 24 living in Tokyo for 30 days as digital nomad. And today I want to show you some trendy areas that are close to each other. And of course we’re going to start with coffee. There’s a Starbucks just behind me. So yeah, I’m here with Bianca. Hey, we’re going to the biggest Starbucks in the world. Yes. [Music] There are so many items that you can buy. There’s really cool actually. Look at this Starbucks snow globe. They have roaster just from Tokyo. Wow. Oh, I want this. [Music] It’s like a whole show this place. It’s like very different Starbucks that I ever seen. They’re transporting all the beans into these capsules. There’s also an area for tea that is called Tivana if you’re into that. But yesterday already did a tea ceremony. So I had already enough tea. [Music] Yeah, it’s pretty good. A lemon cake. Okay. Starbucks is famous for this. Oh yeah, it’s good. Just like a bright flavor. It’s a pretty cool Starbucks. So we’re just going to enjoy coffee, maybe do a little bit of work. [Music] It was a good productive a little bit work, right? A little bit. Yeah. Let’s go. Let’s bounce. By the way, the building was designed by Kumakeno, a very famous Japanese architect. And you can see it’s beautiful. And I’m going to put this special Starbucks roaster on the number 13 out of 19 coffee shops that I checked so far. [Music] So, there’s a few cute areas. They’re really close to each other by walking. So, we’re going to go to a few of them. started with Nakameuru. So Nakameu was very famous for the Meguru River, which is this canel that’s barely a river to be honest, but it’s just a nice area to walk around. [Music] And here in Nakamuno, there’s this place called Travelers Factory. It’s like a cool place you can buy some, you know, traveler accessories and even stamp your notebook with some uh traveler stuff. Of course, if you’re a digital nomad of a traveler, it’s a pretty good stuff. [Music] I was reading online that they call like the Brooklyn of Tokyo. And to be honest, yeah, it looks like that. Like so walkable, beautiful streets. It’s very dog friendly as you can see. Oh, a Shiva. I want to get a Shiva. There’s so many cool places to check in this area. This whole garden is so nice to walk around. And it’s also the famous Tusaya books. They have a few around Tokyo, but it’s one of the biggest. They got two or three buildings. So many books, English and Japanese. Also, I don’t know what is this building behind in the flower structure, but it’s so beautiful. It’s really beautiful to walk around here. That building is amazing. All right, now checking the Rio Sakura House is this Japanese style traditional house that you can see in between the city. Right now, it’s kind of like a museum. You just blur the whole rooms and see how it was built in those days. All these houses made by wood, by the way. So, it’s just so delicate and so crafty to make these houses, man. Nice. You can also walk around the gardens of the house. It’s just a beautiful quiet place even though right now it’s in maintenance. And of course, right now is surrounded by Dangayama. So this is like the only original Japanese style house you’ll see or like even in the whole Tokyo. So it’s pretty cool to see. So this is the log road in Dankyama. It’s this beautiful green path just nice to walk. And maybe I’m going to get a donut. Okay, that’s a good pretty donut sign. I need to get one. Come on. Yo, there’s so many cool donuts here. I got that. So, yes, I couldn’t resist. And I got my donuts. So, this is a cookies donut. Let’s see how it is. It’s normal good something. Yes. So, I’m going to eat in the brewery that is called Spring Valley. It’s in the log road and I chose a pizza that is like a jagator style and they suggest you with beer to pair it with. I’m getting the Japan L. And they said they won like a few awards this year. So, it’s supposed to be a good one. Let’s see. Yeah, it’s refreshing. Insane. Okay. Refreshing citrus aroma with some Japanese hops. All right. And this is the pizza that I got. It’s Jakuri style. So, it’s like a chicken jacket style in a pizza sauce. I think I never tried this before. It does smells like jagator. It’s hard to explain. This is interesting. And they told me that once you um split it, the egg was going to burst in the middle. Very different. Like very Japanese pizza, but it’s good. [Music] And lastly, I get a dessert at this fancy place that is called Dolce Takubo. I heard good things about the canal and their desserts. So, let’s see if it’s true. I ordered tiramisu and a pure and lime flavors. All right, now I’m also going to try their famous canal. Let’s see if it’s true. Oh, wow. This is delicious. And there’s a nice terras in the log road to see a sunset. It actually looks pretty cool tonight. But anyway, let me reply some of your comments before we finish. Traveler in action asked, “What will be considered an average full-time income to be digital nomad?” It really depends where you go and how long you staying. I will say the minimum a thousand but better is to have 2,000 $3,000 and the more the better. Prince asked, “Does all your NA friends make YouTube videos?” No, I’m the only one crazy doing this. Everyone else that has like a digital nomad job of remote work. I’m going to enjoy the sunset and then heading back home. But I hope you like this journey around two of the trendiest places in Tokyo. See you tomorrow. Ciao. [Music]

Today I’m exploring two of Tokyo’s trendiest neighborhoods: Nakameguro and Daikanyama. I started with coffee at the amazing Starbucks Reserve Roastery, wandered the riverside streets of Nakameguro, visited the historic Ryo Asakura House in Daikanyama, and wrapped up with craft beers and dessert at Spring Valley Brewery. A perfect mix of coffee, culture, and good vibes in Tokyo.
