La vallée Todoroki est la seule vallée du centre de Tokyo, en plein cœur du quartier de Setagaya. La vallée de Todoroki est à la fois un espace vert unique et un joli sentier de randonnée. C'est un choix populaire pour les locaux qui souhaitent s'évader du paysage urbain quotidien.
Todoroki Valley's main hiking promenade reopened in May 2026.
À seulement 20 minutes de Shibuya ou de Shinjuku, Todoroki est accessible en train local et se trouve à proximité de Jiyugaoka, célèbre pour ses pâtisseries et ses desserts. Vous découvrirez plusieurs attractions pendant votre promenade le long du sentier, dont des ponts, des vestiges de tombes tunnel et des points de vue sur les couches de roches géologiques.
À l'autre bout de la vallée se trouve le Todoroki Fudo, un temple à l’atmosphère paisible.

There is a restaurant right in front of the Meguro station where you can eat your own fish. All kinds of Japanese dishes and fresh seafood are also served. In some pools inside the restaurant you can catch your own fish with a fishing rod and net and then let the staff know which table it should be brought to. You can watch the fish being prepared in the kitchen and let you know in advance how the fish should be prepared: whether as sashimi, grilled, boiled, deep-fried (with tempura) or as sushi. If you don't manage to catch your own fish, then you can of course order a fish from the menu. However, the price is much lower if you want to have your own catch cooked .

Sangenjaya est un quartier de l'arrondissement de Setagaya à Tokyo. Le nom Sangenjaya signifie "trois maisons de thé", bien qu'il soit simplement appelé "Sancha" par les habitants. Le quartier regorge de cafés chics et d'izakayas animés. Il est également connu pour son bâtiment Carrot Tower, haut de 27 étages, qui est ainsi nommé par les écoliers locaux en raison de sa couleur. La gare de Sangenjaya sur la ligne Tokyu Setagaya est située au premier étage. De plus, la zone a été l'inspiration pour divers endroits du jeu Persona 5. À proximité, à seulement 2 kilomètres, se trouve Shimokitazawa, un centre de culture et jeunesse, avec de nombreuses salles de mode, de théâtre et de musique le long de ses rues sinueuses. Si vous voulez vous immerger dans une culture liée à la mode à Tokyo, vous êtes au bon endroit.
Le temple Gotokuji est un temple bouddhiste de la période Edo, connu comme le berceau du chat porte-bonheur maneki neko. Situé à Setagaya, à Tokyo, le temple Gotokuji est un lieu populaire pour les amoureux des chats en raison de la présence de statuettes maneki neko autour du temple. La légende raconte que Ii Naotaka a échappé à un orage inattendu au début du XVIIe siècle car il a été invité au temple par un chat. Pour montrer sa gratitude au chat, Naotaka a décidé de dédier le temple au clan Ii. Le maneki neko est une figure célèbre au Japon. On le retrouve souvent à l'intérieur des magasins, avec sa patte levée en signe de bonne chance pour le propriétaire. Bien qu'il existe de nombreux types de figurines Maneki Neko, qui lèvent la patte droite ou gauche, au temple Gotokuji vous trouverez seulement la version de chat avec la patte droite levée.
