Nishihara is a cool little neighbourhood that I always find myself in by accident. I always stumble across so many gems here and would highly recommend a visit. Whether you like homewares and vintage clothing, or natural wine and an Izakaya, this might be the place for you. 

01
Ohayo Tokyo!
Bullpen Store 

This shop has been here for quite sometime and has a mix of Japanese, American and European home goods. 

Kasiki Ice Cream 

Ice cream by day and natural wine by night, in a beautifully small but well-designed shop.

This delightful wine store also doubles as a wine bar. They have a large and interesting selection of wines form all over the world. 
 

City Light Book 

This is a small little shop with a range of unique zines and books. Plus, you can order a drrink and enjoy your new purchases and it's open late!

Nadoya No Katte.
Lanterne

This Izakaya is located downstairs in what seems like a basement. However, it's bright but ambient, vibey and the food was yum. 

 

Aelu 

If you can actually find it (it's located upstairs in what seems like an apartment block), it's filled with ceramics from different Japanese artisans. 

 

Nadoya No Katte 

This coffee shop has recently appeared in a few design magazines. It has a nice courtyard to sit in and they are coffee specialists.
