Tokyo's Forgotten Loop | Tabata, Komagome, Sugamo, Otsuka

Explore the "North Loop" of the Yamanote Line, a deep part of Tokyo that many tourists overlook. From the quiet hills of Tabata to the retro charm of Otsuka and the bustling "Grandma's Harajuku" in Sugamo, we take a walk through the authentic, local side of the city.
