Around Kichijoji Station (JR line and Keio Inokashira line)

 Yes a break at last! I was able to walk around Kichijoji station this weekend. Located on JR Chuo line and on Keio Inokashira line. Lots of Japanese people choose Kichijoji as one of the best place to live due to the popularity of shopping street and how well organized the city itself is. Also Kichijoji is well known for the highly energetic shopping streets in Tokyo!

  One of the reasons they say its energetic is due to the huge amount of people visiting in a day. According to statistic I saw on a television program in Japan, it is about 80,000 people in a day which is higher than the amount of people visiting Tokyo Disney land o.0!

          There are lots of reasons why so many people come here to shop. From what I saw, the city is well organized even though there are famous department shops like Parco, Tokyu, Atre, and Yodobashi Camera (electronic giant shop) and also small unique shops like as if they are coexisting well. I actually took some photos there that I found interesting.
