framed shimokita


bear pond

Just some random shots from a day in Shimokitazawa with my friend a little while ago. Bear Pond is my favourite cafe for a quick coffee and daughnuts (bought from Hara Daughnuts right across from the cafe). Have a quick peek in Sally Scott (their shop in Shirogane is the best though), wonder around for a while and then eat and drink at a cozy French bistro "Trocadero", then finish with coffee and desert at ericafe. A nice way to spend a day :)

  6. Mary, jen, thank you but I think the same to your posts each time!

    Narumi, I don't know shimokita that well but it has kind of a unique atmosphere and it's nice. No that bunny latte is not from Bear Pond they do the tulip ones. And ericafe does a really cute "boy face" latte :)

    Mike, so glad to hear you're feeling a little better. I guess it gets extra bohemian at night in shimokita, but even during the day it has its unique atmosphere you should go visit again in the daylight ;)

    mizu designs,
    Sally Scott is indeed very cute, their clothes, website, shops, shopping bags....everything!

    Elisabelle, thank you!!! i love hearing your comment :)

  8. Your photos are divine! Only found your blog this morning & yay! Loved Japan for years (the aesthetics got me in!) Planning on travelling around the remarkable country with our kids - any ideas how tricky this might be without knowing Japanese?
    Many thanks fro your inspiration

  9. Aron, yes round windows are nice, ne! do you like shimokitazawa?

    Marion, thank you :) i'm not showing enough but this area of tokyo is nice, i must go back to take more photos to share with you!

    EcoDepot, g'day! thanks for finding me here :) Yes i can imagine it'll be quite tricky travelling around japan without knowing japanese, but it could be all fine more people speak english these days. still if you know some words you'd probably enjoy more ;)
