Japanese “Grandma” Street Food & Shopping Street Adventure in Sugamo Tokyo

This friendly town in Tokyo's north is often dubbed "Harajuku for Grandmas", for its bustling shopping streets favored by the over-60 crowd. It's a great place to connect with locals and soak up Tokyo's downtown atmosphere of old. Of course, you don't have to be a grandma to enjoy the traditional snacks like sweet and salty shiodaifuku or peruse the traditional crafts for sale. Sugamo becomes particularly lively on the 4th, 14th and 24th of every month when the temple holds a small festival.
