In Tokyo’s suburb of Togoshi, one can spend a day exploring the neighborhood, including its parks, shrines, and unique local shops and restaurants. There are two parks located at Togoshi-koen station,Togoshi park and Bunko no Mori (Library Forest) both free of admissions. You can also find the Togoshi Hachiman Shrine, founded in 1526. People often enjoy tea and sweets provided by the site. An on-site vendor also brews fresh coffee, which makes the shrine feel like a suave cafe. The tranquil Miyamae “shōtengai” (shopping street). Here, there is a shop stuffed with vintage curios, a tatami-maker’s workplace and a sushi restaurant with a noren curtain so worn that it’s “wabi–sabi” (the aesthetic celebrating the beauty of impermanence) wonderful.
