About
About Suginami
Suginami (杉並区, Suginami-ku) is one of the 23 special wards in the Tokyo Metropolis in Japan. The ward refers to itself as Suginami City in English.
Suginami is mostly a residential area which will provide a great view of real Japanese living in Tokyo. The area's main points of interest are the clothing shops and nightspots of Kōenji and the antique shops of Ogikubo and Nishi-Ogikubo. The ward has a semi-official Japanese-only guide site and its Pamphlet section has some materials in English.
