Touristy · Half day

Time Out’s #1 neighborhood in the world for 2025 — Jimbocho is Tokyo’s book town, a dense warren of used bookstores, old kissaten, and curry shops. Come to browse the shelves, stay for the Showa-era coffee houses. A half-day here resets your sense of what a neighborhood can be.
