Highlights
Tips
Best tip norm ever! In Japan there's no need to tip!
Don't try to give tips in japanese hotels, bars, taxis, etc. Tips are not accepted in Japan and they will reject them with some kind of disapointment.
Eating & Drinking
Sleeping
Shopping
Perhaps this neighborhood is not as popular as Harajuku (mainly for the foreigners), but it's definitely as trendy and much more authentic. You won't find only a lot of good stores, but also good live-houses, cafes and restaurants.
There is even some kind of rivalry between the young Japanese who like Harajuku and those who prefer Shimokitazawa.
If you are a musician, this neighborhood is gonna become your paradise in Tokyo. Tons of cheap and amazing music stores.
Well, if you are not a musician, you can unless visit the Meiji University, enjoy the view from the bridge over the Kanda river or take a 10 minutes walk down to Akihabara (Electric Town).
Be careful: NO SMOKING AREA! Yeah, I mean in the streets.
