Daikanyama, Tokyo is only one station away from Shibuya, you can walk to get there from Shibuya too. I’d introduce you things to do in Daikanyama where some people say it looks like Brooklyn because of its stylishness. I honestly don’t think like that since I’ve been to Brooklyn (actually I used to live there). Lol

It is a perfect place for you to read books and have a coffee where I used to go often. Actually, I’ve met my husband here lol.
Tsutaya Bookstore is allowing you to read books with coffee. There are some rules like you can not take a note, take a picture, make a mess on books, and etc. As long as you keep following those rules, and you don’t need to buy books.

I love this baby & kid clothing store, and have bought a lot but not for myself. It is perfect for gift since they can personalize it.
I often buy baby bibs made with 100% organic cotton, and get a baby’s name on it for gift. If you are looking for something for baby shower or baby born gift, I would highly recommend you to check out this store 😉
Food in Daikanyama
In addition, need to mention, there are good shops for food too! 🙂 I would like to introduce some stores to support Japanese chefs, businesses, farms in Japan (stores using ingredients from Japan) and etc.

They pick ingredients very carefully, and they blend wheats from Japan, from their own farm and their friend’s one. Not only wheats, also nuts, dried fruits, veggies and etc.
It’s very popular and it could be sold out before closing time!
All breads are produced by a famous chef Mr. Shiga (His own bakery is “Signifiant Signifie” in Setagaya, Tokyo).
