1. 東京都下北沢 (Shimo-Kitazawa, Tokyo, Japan)

I have been to Shimo-Kitazawa many times. It’s a nice area, so I was happy to see it listed as the world’s coolest neighborhood.

I don’t read Vogue magazine…I found out about this ranking because it was mentioned on a Japanese TV morning show that I watch.

Have you ever been to Shimo-Kitazawa?
