We took that train to Shimo-Kita – 0ur first train journey in Japan – the Odakyu-Odawara line to Shimo-Kitazawa.<\/p>\n

We walked from our little flat in the suburbs of Shinjuku to Shinjuku Station. We were staying approximately 5 minutes walk from Higashi-Shinjuku underground station but decided to walk to get a feel for the neighbourhood, a stroll of around 30 minutes if you’re stopping to take pitchas. Finding the right platform is easy once you’re inside the station as all the signs are written in English. The journey to Shimokitazawa takes about 10 minutes and costs \u00a5160.<\/p>\n

The photos are from around our neighbourhood and the surrounding area towards Shinjuku Station, some of the station, the train and then a couple in Shimokitazawa. <\/p>\n

We walked along route 302 all the way to the station. A more interesting route is along 302 past Higashi-Shinjuku and then left along Meiji-Dori (305) where you can find Hanazono Jinja, a small shinto shrine located on the right, and then right along Shinjuku-Dori. You can also continue along Meiji-Dori until the next road where you’ll find the vastly over-rated Miyama Shokai camera shop.<\/p>\n
