Feeling a little too old to hang out with the teens in Harajuku? Annoyed by the bustle and crowds of Shibuya? Maybe Jiyugaoka is more your pace? This suburban neighborhood has spacious and comfortable streets lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants aimed at those ready to move on from those youthful centers but still very fashionable. Excellent place to eat out and take a relaxing break from the city crowds, with great people-watching potential. Do as the locals do and bring a friend, a book, or a drink to enjoy as you sit and watch Tokyoites of all sorts pass by.nnExiting the station on the north side brings you to the rotary and surrounding blocks full of restaurants and shops. On the south side you will find Marie Claire and Green Streets.
