From Ebisu, the best place to live, through the art spots to the stylish town of Hiroo for the best hamburgers.

This time, we strolled one stop from Ebisu to Hiroo.

Ebisu and Hiroo may sound fashionable and a bit flashy, but there are also quieter, more folksy neighborhoods. The joy of strolling is discovering places that are usually passed by on the train and unknown to the public.

Starting at Ebisu Station (H02 on the JR Yamanote and Hibiya Lines), take the east exit on the first floor of the JR ticket gate, pass through the street by the McDonald’s, and you will see the small Sarutahiko Coffee store in front of you.

A Japanese sweets shop with delicious apricot Daifuku facing Meiji Dori. It is popular among the locals, so it sells out at certain times of the day. The area is lined with cherry blossom trees, so a walk in spring is also recommended.

Hiroo is also connected to Aoyama, Roppongi, and Azabu Juban, so you can enjoy your stroll as many times as you like on different days. We will introduce them again on this site.
