Suginami City is an attractive area where a calm living environment and unique culture coexist. Asagaya, Koenji, and Nishi-Ogikubo are dotted with unique cafes, used bookstores, and live music venues, creating cultural streets where you can enjoy art and music. On the other hand, there are many green spots such as Zenpukuji Park and Wadabori Park, providing an environment where you can feel close to nature. You can easily access Shinjuku and Ikebukuro by using the JR Chuo Line, Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line, and Seibu Shinjuku Line. This area is recommended for working adults in their 20s and 30s who want to live a calm life while enjoying a lifestyle that suits them.
Suginami
Voice of area responsible
When I'm in charge of Suginami City, I often hear people say, ``Livability and individuality coexist.'' Nishi-Ogikubo in particular is attractive for its unique calm atmosphere, where old-fashioned shopping streets and stylish cafes coexist. There are supermarkets and restaurants in front of the station, making it convenient for everyday life. Also, if you use the Chuo Line, you can get to Shinjuku in about 10 minutes, making it convenient for commuting to work or school. You can easily go to cultural towns like Koenji and Asagaya, so it's the perfect area for people who want to live a carefree life while valuing their individuality.
