Tokyo Neighborhoods Vlog 🇯🇵 Grandma's Harajuku, Ameyoko Shopping Street Food, Ueno, Japan Vlog 2025

Want to explore another side of Tokyo? This week we discover Tokyo's retro neighborhoods: Sugamo and Ueno Okachimachi. Popularly known as the '#harajuku for Grandmas,' Sugamo is an old town Japanese neighborhood favored by Tokyo's senior citizens. At its heart, the charming Sugamo Jizo-Dori Shopping Street is filled with businesses where seniors love to shop, eat and spend their afternoons. Afterwards, we take the train to Ueno #okachimachi to visit the Ueno #ameyoko Shopping Street. Frequented by bargain hunters since its days as a black market during World War II, this busy neighborhood is filled with Japanese street food and a surprising amount of Japanese menswear shops.
