Monkeying around in Sarugakucho
Sarugakucho — which loosely translates as "monkey fun town" — is a hot spot near Daikanyama Station in Shibuya, Tokyo. As a place to hang out, this area sets the bar pretty high: Its backstreets are a zoo of uber-cute boutiques offering exclusive jeans, aromatic drip coffee made with gourmet beans, wee French restaurants and a smattering of traditional goods such as indigo-dyed clothing and souvenir tenugui (cotton towels). It's all great fun, but please note: the area has been so over-blogged (without permission, or precision, apparently) that many shop owners have posted "No photos" notices in their windows — so ask before you shoot, and don't make a monkey of yourself.
