My Tokyo Trip(6) – NO Shinjuku or Harajuku anymore! Trendies of Tokyo now go to Daikanyama and Shimokitazawa 我的東京之旅(6) – 新宿原宿？你落伍了！現在要去代官山、下北澤！

來到我的東京之旅最後一篇了！雖然我是一個生活隨意的人，連旅行都不好好計劃行程，但作為上一代的文青潮人，代官山的名字我不會未聽過！所以，在旅程的最後一晚，我怎也抽了一點時間來代官山逛一逛！

This is the last articles of my Tokyo trip series. Although I am a person to be liberty to do anything even not plan a trip, as a hipster of the last generation, Daikanyama in Tokyo is a well-known name for me. I must take some time to visit Daikanyama!

代官山 Daikanyama

代官山與渋谷只有一個車站的距離，但與渋谷的熱鬧相比，代官山相對寧靜而隱蔽，造就悠閒的氣氛。代官山是東京的高級住宅區，當中的Hillside Terrace更曾獲得建築果的最高榮譽普利茲克獎。代官山吸引了潮流品牌店、特色餐廳及Café等進駐，營造了一種高貴的氣氛，是東京最新興的時尚地區，也是文青至愛的地方。

Daikanyama is only one train station away from Shibuya. But comparing with Shibuya, Daikanyama is more peaceful. Daikanyama is a high grade residential district of Tokyo. The hillside Terrace, was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize which is the highest honor in the architecture industry. Daikanyama Attacks a lot of trendy boutiques, restaurants and cafes, creating a noble environment. Daikanyama is the newest trend spot of Tokyo, and also the love of hipster.

由於時間關係，抵達代官山已經是晚上了，很多的店都已關門，甚是可惜，但在仍開放的店舖中，先不說貨物，只說設計，我只能說日本人的設計感真的很強！我聽說日本的小學已有設計課了，是真是假不得而知，但他們的設計的確很好看！難怪可以成為亞洲的圭臬、指標。

Because of the schedule, it’s already night when we arrived Daikanyama. Many shops had closed. But from the shops still opening, I can see the designing talent of Japanese. Their design is really really great! I heard that there is already design lecture in the primary school of Japan. I didn’t it’s true or not, but they really have the strong sense of design.

在漆黑的路一直走，抵達了代官山的地標T-site，T-site是日本老牌書店TSUTAYA開設的複合空間，以三幢相連的「蔦屋書店」為核心，營造一個綠意盎然的環境，在今天已是代官山的地標。

Going through the dark road, we arrived the T-site, the hot spot of Daikanyama. T-site is a complex area designed by TSUTAYA, an old book store brand of Japan. Today, T-site is already the landmark of Daikanyama.

在T-site我找到了北村寫真機店，這相機店由設計師植木莞爾親自打理，內裝設計清新，更有主打LEICA、MiNT InstantFlex等多個經典相機，件件都是珍品，絕對是攝影愛好者的聖地！不過這些相機真的太貴了，我只是能看看，最後買了一台經典的富士即影即棄相機留為紀念 :)

I found the Kitamura Camera shop. It is founded and designed by famous designer Kanji Ueki, specializing in classic camera like the LEICA, MiNT InstantFlex. It’s really the best place for photographer! But the cameras are really very expensive. I finally bought a QuickSnap of FUJIFILM as a souvenir.

離開北村寫真機店，下一站當然是蔦屋書店，這書店堪稱為「全球最美20家書店」之一，以「在森林中的圖書館為概念」，內有書、設計用品、唱片、電影、餐廳等，我在文具館就已看了足足一個小時！因為裡面的設計和產品實在太美，雖然很貴 >< 可惜裡面不能拍照，我只能偷偷拍了一兩張，不過我最後也買了几張書簽留念

The next station was the TSUTAYA. It is one of the “20 most beautiful bookstore in the world”. Taking the concert of a library in the forest”, the bookstore is surrounded the trees and woods. There were books, designing stuffs, CD, movie and restaurants in the bookstore, with the beauty of design. I took totally one hour, just to visit the stationary department of the bookstore! Unfortunately photo was not allowed so I couldn’t take photos. Finally I bought some bookmarks.

下北沢 Shimokitazawa

本來我真的不知道這個地方，不過 Nicolemoker 曾極力推介下北沢這個地方，在旅程的最後一天，去過鎌倉後，見尚有少許時間兼且順路，就來到下北沢逛一逛。

I didn’t know Shimokitazawa before but Nicolemoker recommend me to go this place. So after visiting Kamakura in the last day of my trip, I squeezed some times to visit Shimokitazawa.

踏出下北沢車站，走到小街一看，乖乖不得了！全是我最愛的古著風格！就連街道也充滿了復古的味道！

Coming out from the train station, I was shocked! It’s my favorite! It’s the style of cintage!

下北沢給人一種地下、次文化、雜亂、年輕人之街的印象，由於附近有多所大學，故成為了年輕人聚集之地，加上二手服裝店舖林立，是今天東京潮人的集中地，老實說，我在下北沢見到的年輕人衣著，比渋谷的更潮，更有味道！

Shimokitazawa gives us an image of underground, subculture, messy and young people. As there are lots of University beside, Shimokitazawa becomes a place for young people. Recently many vintage boutique moved to Shimokitazawa, making Shimokitazawa a place for Hipster. Frankly speaker, I found the dressing style of young people in Shimokitazawa is much more trendy then those in Shibuya.

再一次的可惜，我去下北沢的時間是早上11時多，很多店舖都未開門，所以又是一次遺憾之旅。我沿著街道細細走過，雖然大多店舖都沒有開門，但都見到各自的個性，可說是集合了所有年輕人的注目元素，聞說很多日本的名星藝人，也會到下北沢掃貨，這時不禁心裡叫好，如果我在下午才來，可能就要破費一番了。

That’s blow again that I arrived Shimokitazawa at 11am. Many boutiques and restaurants still not opened. I walked along the street. Although lot of shops were still closed, I could still found the personality and individuality of each shop. It is heard many super stars and artists of Japan also go to Shimokitazawa for shopping. I suddenly feel lucky I came so early, or I would spend a lot here…

代官山和下北沢，都是東京的最新潮點，比起新宿、渋谷、銀座，更值得去參觀、購物。這兩個地方，都能讓年輕人展現他們個性的一面，各具特色，絕不顯得人云亦云，化為平庸。

Daikanyama and Shimokitazawa are the newest trendy spot of Tokyo. It’s much more worthy than Shinjuku, Shibuya or Ginza to visit.

本來，這次是不打算製件視頻的，因為兩個地方都有很多地方不準拍攝，能拍的東西不多，但來到了東京之旅的最後一篇，我抱著了一點點的私心，就是希望用我當年十分喜歡的Every Little Thing的歌曲作為我的視頻配樂。其實ELT的歌曲並不太合適用於這兩個地方，但原諒我吧！當年我真的很喜歡Every Little Thing! ( 相信現在的90後都不認識ELT了，我真的老了 >< )

Initially I didn’t plan to make a video for this article as I couldn’t take good shop for these two places. Shooting was not allowed in many shops. But, as the last article of my Tokyo trip series, I really want to use a song of EVERY LITTLE THING as the background music of my video. ELT was my favorite when I was young. Although the songs of ELT didn’t fit the two places, I really wanted to. So, I used it haha, forgive me!
