Kichijoji is one of the coolest neighborhood in Tokyo Japan. Apparently this area, 15minutes by train from Shinjuku is voted one of the most desired place to live in Tokyo. We can understand why after visiting this suburb. There is Ghibli Museum in Inokashira Park that you can definitely go, IF you can get the tickets. We couldn't get the ticket but still spend really good time in Kichijoji.
4 places you need to visit in Kichijoji are:
- Hikiniku to Come
Address: 2 Chome-8-3 Kichijoji Honcho, Musashino, Tokyo 180-0004, Japan
Must try food in Tokyo! This is a hamburger patty or hamburg steak restaurant eaten with rice. The branch in Kichijoji has lesser queues than Shibuya or Kyoto but you still need to come early to get a ticket then come back for lunch or dinner
- Satou Kichijōji

Try their menchi katsu - Japanese street food of deep fried minced beef with onion, oishii!

Taiyaki is a fish shaped Japanese dessert street food
- Kichijōji Petit Mura
Address: Japan, 〒180-0004 Tokyo, Musashino, Kichijoji Honcho, 2 Chome−33−2 吉祥寺プティット村
Ghibli themed cafes, souvenir shops and cat cafe. You will definitely get transported to the world of Ghibli through this tiny village.
