Kichijyoji was voted one of the most desirable places to live in Japan - and for good reason. It combines convenience, ease of access, and cafe culture - with a Japanese twist. You can walk through the semi-enclosed shopping arcades, search for interesting products at one of the numerous kitchen stores, gourmet grocery stores, second hand clothing shops, tea shops, Chinaware shops, etc.
Kichijyoji doesn't have the overly busy feel to it that Shinjuku or Shibuya does, yet you will find it has almost everything you need.
You can access Kichijyoji via limousine bus from either Haneda or Narita airport, via the Japan Rail Chuo Line, or via the Keio Inokashira line.
