[2025 Tokyo ] Travel Guide for Koenji Nakadori Shopping Street (Updated Apr)

#TokyoTrip #CatCafe I took my child to a cat cafe because it's free for children under 3 years old. In addition to Koenji, there are cat cafes in other major cities in Tokyo, and they are attached to the pet shop Coo&RIKU. For children 3 years old and over, it costs 1,045 yen for 30 minutes, and an additional 200 yen is charged for every 10 minutes. (Free drink included) Cats gather around the 330 yen cat tulle for a blissful time, but as soon as it's gone, they stop looking at it, it's so cash-intensive. Finally, I rolled the cat hair away and that was it.

Shoichii Inari Shrine in Suginami Ward, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 This shrine is related to the Ogawara family, headman of the former Koenji village. When Kujo Setsuko, who would become the empress of Emperor Taisho (Empress Teimei), was fostered by the Ogawara family, this shrine is likely the family's house deity. In the precincts, there is a seated statue of Bato Kannon and a standing statue of Jizo Bodhisattva on a pedestal engraved with the name of the Ogawara family. There was also something engraved with the name of the Ogawara family inside the shrine. There were also onigawara tiles and other items that seem to be from the past on the back of the shrine. Behind the shrine is the Chuo Line, with trains running nonstop. The shrine is surrounded by residential areas, and this place stands in the middle of them all. Takahara Park, run by Suginami Ward, is also nearby. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Shoichii Inari Shrine ꕥAddress: 1-2-6 Koenji Kita, Suginami-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉 Koenji Station → approx. 10-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Shrine lover #Shrine visit #Shrines and temples #Shrine tour
