This is a delightful find! A great variety of vendors with unique, quality goods. Unlike any other shopping experience we've encountered in the city thus far. The setting beneath the train tracks is unexpectedly charming. We went in about 6 shops and spent an hour all told. Could have easily stayed longer if we'd had the time.

Want to see something most tourists miss? Check out 2k540 Aki Oka artisan alley under the train tracks for unique souvenirs made by local artists. It’s this really cool atmospheric place that has all of these new hip artisan shops in like a maze of beautiful tunnels under the train tracks.

This single floor place is located just underneath the train tracks, and is a nice area to look for local arts and crafts, and support the creators here. Shoes, jewelry, and portraits and more are sold here, plus free wifi! I like how very clean and spacious it is here, so we never got stuck in crowds even on a weekend afternoon. It's worth checking out Aki-Oka artisan if you're looking for a shopping centre that's selling local goods!

Nice quaint place for arts and crafts in a nicely refurbished area. If you are looking for souvenirs to really cherish at home or gifts that won't get dumped in a closet somewhere, this is the place. The experience is nice because you are not sensory overloaded by huge crowds, flashy screens, flickering lights and a jumble hyperkenetic sound effects to grab your attention.

This is a unique space in Tokyo. A former carpark converted into a creative space full of independent shops selling unique designs, art, and crafts. There is also an excellent café. It is certainly one of the spots to visit in Tokyo
