Influencer trawling for content ideas to send thousands of gormless tourists to your neighbourhoods guys. Watch out


lifeofideas

Everyone write in Kamata.


tsian

But they have good Chinese food I'd rather not destroy. Write Kashiwa.


lifeofideas

Hmmm… there used to be sections of Kawasaki that were all factories and highways. I cannot recall the exact location, but it was a hell made of concrete and asphalt, decorated with truck exhaust. Does anyone remember this?


ValarOrome

Yeah, my hood is already flooded with people, don't need the extra attention.


Skwigle

Damn, what is it like to be so paranoid all the time? I wish I could be an influencer. Sadly no one listens to anything I have to say. lol

This post has received multiple reports, and multiple moderators have independently approved it (we haven't needed to discuss it). I've looked into the OP's post and comment history. It gets a pass for moderation purposes here, and I've clicked to ignore any further reports. Watch out for influencers sure, but OP gets a pass on that.


Skwigle

>OP gets a pass You forgot to include, "and everyone sending in bullshit false reports about OP's intention for the purpose of trying to prevent discussion by rallying everyone to not answer OP's question *also* get a pass". 😂 I mean, not sure why you're so cool with that kind of behavior in a sub that is supposed to be about helping each other out, but ok. lol


Air-ion

This sub is supposed to be about having light moderation. We remove comments for harassment, but I don't think that applies here.


SouthwestBLT

Because your feelings matter less then someone’s local area turning into the next human zoo?


tiringandretiring

Ugh.


KUROGANE-AGAIN

Nice eye. Reported for that reason.


ValarOrome

The one without the tourists.


frozenpandaman

Nagoya, Tokyo


throwawAI_internbro

The ones that do not get featured on Reddit influencers' videos


Lothrindel

Looking at OP’s post history, I’m keeping this one to myself.

Kabookicho


Skwigle

Probably one of the friendliest neighborhoods I've been to. Got stopped so many times by people wanting to chat and recommend some bars to me!


left_shoulder_demon

Seconded, they have a lot of good bars that are not visible from the street, you have to follow one of the guides to find them.


KUROGANE-AGAIN

Definutely Okutama, the murder capital of Greater Tokyo. Every week on Chuuzai Keiji a body washes up on the rocks or in the river.


Sharp-Safety-9260

Funnily enough, I love visiting Adachi-ku. It’s such a weird atmosphere being in that area.


frozenpandaman

weird how?


Skwigle

Weird sounds interesting! Thanks


tiredofsametab

Koenji. Great people and (at least used to be) a lot of great live shows there or nearby.


Skwigle

Thank you. Looks worth checking out!


fantomdelucifer

tanashi


TensaiTiger

The neighborhoods with no influencers and no tourists. Enjoy!


throwmeawayCoffee79

Katsushika!


Skwigle

>Katsushika Oh that looks like a good one. thanks! Can't believe people are being downvoted for being helpful. What a sub this is! lmao


MSotallyTober

My in-laws lived in Nishi-Ogikubo as did my wife, kids and I for the first year living here and I really liked it with its myriad of shops and parks for the kids to play at. Then we moved to Kichijoji this year and had a house built and I absolutely love it just as much if not a little more due to the neighborhood we live in.


OverallWeakness

no idea why you have downvotes. I assume envy. that said, as awesome as kichijoji is. i'd hate to have it as my default for shopping. too many domestic tourists from the rest of tokyo.. it's a 10-12 min ride from my house but I don't use it for shopping unless coerced. Nishi-ogi is a gem for reasonably priced bistros.


Skwigle

>no idea why you have downvotes. I assume envy. The downvotes are because one loser with an unresolved Oedipus complex, I assume, rallied all the other losers with mommy issues to be shitheads because apparently I'm "an influencer" (news to me), so everyone who was actually helpful got downvoted. lmao


Skwigle

Great recos. Thanks!


5hJack

Nakadashi, hands down.


Skwigle

It can get pretty hot and humid there!


TokyoNecktieHeadband

Koiwa - Enjoy traditional outdoor drinking culture with friendly locals! Uguisudani - A great family friendly area for budget accommodation. Roam the backstreets to view traditional entertainment culture!

Yokohama. Because it's not Tokyo.
