The Live not Stay
TRAVEL GUIDE
Yoyogi-Uehara Setagaya-daita Tokyo Japan
You have traveled to Tokyo many times and want to stay in a different place next time. How about “experience living” ? Live a daily life in a residential area of Tokyo and go sightseeing from there. The place is Yoyogi-Uehara, one of the most popular residential areas in Tokyo. And the access to the center is also good. I would like to introduce a shops and restaurants that people who live here love.

MUST SEE
<Former Marquis Maeda Western Style House>
Komaba Koen Archtecture Museum
Historical architecture in a quiet residential area. It was said to be the best in the Orient when built in 1929. The Western-style building, which was influenced by British architecture in the 16th century, has a design that integrates a garden and a building. In the past, it is expected that a table was placed in the garden to entertain the guests. Now it’s a place of relaxation in the neighborhood. Let’s visit the nearby “The Maeda Japanese Style House” and “The Japan Folk Crafts Museum” together.

Yoyogi-Uehara Boulangerie Bakery Cafe
Many people come to the store from 8:00 in the morning near Yoyogi-Uehara Station. The owner was a bakery chef at Hotel de Crillon in front of Place de la Concorde in Paris. This is a delicious bakery that will satisfy Europeans. Bread with recipes using Japanese ingredients is also recommended.

MUST EAT
<La Facon Koga>
Yoyogi-Uehara French Restaurant
The best French restaurant in Yoyogi-Uehara, people living in this area definitely think so. Chef Koga opened a restaurant in this town 20 years ago and moved here in 2013. Orthodox French cuisine, which you will never get tired of visiting many times, also has sophistication. You can see the cooking when you sit at the counter. Anyway, meat dishes are the best.
