Todoroki Valley & Gotokuji Temple | Tokyo's Hidden Forest & Lucky Cats

A forest walk inside Tokyo, shelves of lucky cats, and curry in Shimokitazawa. Join me for a relaxed two-day Tokyo travel vlog through Todoroki Valley, Gotokuji Temple, Oimachi and the city's neighborhood streets. I'm Fuku, a Japanese man in my 40s sharing the places I visit around Japan. This trip starts with a stay at Ours Inn Hankyu in Oimachi, a walk to Rocky Shinagawa for bouldering, and an evening at Ofuro no Osama. On day two, we explore Todoroki Valley, stop for traditional Japanese sweets, visit temples, and finish with local food and a nighttime walk around Shimokitazawa. If you enjoy slow travel, everyday Japan and exploring on foot, subscribe and join me on the next trip. Which stop would you add to your Tokyo itinerary?
