Sangenjaya Eki(station) area or near Komazawa Koen(park).
From those areas you can walk to Shibuya, Nakameguro, Daikanyama, and Gakigei-Daigaku.
Gakigei-Daigaku Eki gives you good access to Yokohama and Kamakura for the temples and beach.
Sangenjaya walk up to Shimo-Kitazawa.
All those aforementioned areas are the 'cool' bits. Shimo-Kitazawa is the indie studeny low rise buildings, cheap, vintage stores etc. And my favourite Ramen-ya(ya = shop) https://goo.gl/maps/sw6cSDJSrcGJ…
Daikanyama is a bit more up market, do check out here:

And look for cafe's loads of good ones around there.Look for this no longer-hidden gem of the 2nd oldest baseball batting centre in Japan:
https://goo.gl/maps/GmLk5rsE92zG…Nakameguro has a nice river that you can walk along and check out the stores. With a park at the start https://goo.gl/maps/GYWRnX3nRcC4…
You can also get to Shibuya, and walk up to HaraJuku. Then across to Ometsando if you want to see all the mega rich Japanese and shop at LV.
- Walking between all those areas will keep you busy for a week as there's tones of hidden gems, little cafes and bars etc.shapesalad
- This sounds all very cool, I will go there when my kid is a bit older. So I'll ask you again in 5 years.Longcopylover
