Tokyo’s “coolest” neighborhood is subjective and constantly shifting, as the city’s appeal lies in its diversity of areas, each offering a unique mix of trends, culture and hidden gems. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/03/is-there-coolest-neighborhood-in-tokyo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #jimbocho #shimokitazawa #koenji #kichijoji #daikanyama #nakameguro #roppongi #odaiba #toyosu #ueno #nishishinjuku #shibuya #yoyogikoen #daikanyama #aoyama #omotesando #ebisu #tokyo #harajuku
Tokyo’s coolest neighborhood? There isn’t one.

Tokyo can’t be reduced to a single trendy suburb: What’s appealing is precisely the incongruity of its locales.

I was exploring Shimokitazawa, a neighborhood in Tokyo, and I stumbled upon this really cool storefront artwork.

Ruchika Sachdeva and a Tokyo winter

I started my label Bodice in 2011 as a young designer but I have always been conscious about the depletion of natural resources, and am constantly on the lookout for alternative materials. The spring-summer collection we launched in Delhi last month was a collaboration with Bemberg, an eco-friendly textile produced by the Japan-based Asahi Kasei. It is a 100% regenerated cellulose fibre processed from cotton linter that is biodegradable and soft. Before I started work on the collection, I wanted to inspect their process myself. It wasn’t the first time I had used Bemberg or my first visit to Japan.
