Koenji, the cool capital of punk in Japan, has a strong history of sub-culture and activism and a walk around the neighborhood will leave you with the impression that there is nowhere else quite like it in the country. With its abundance of vintage shops, graffiti-covered alleys, livehouse backstreets and hidden corners, it’s a neighborhood pulsing with rebellion and creativity that can seem quite removed from the hustle attitude which is at the core of most of Tokyo.

This tour captures the raw, unfiltered spirit of a neighborhood where art, attitude and underground energy collide - perfect for bold street photography and anyone drawn to Tokyo’s wilder side.
