Some reviews are AI-translated.
If you like Korean products, you could easily spend half a day here. There are all kinds of unique K-culture shops and Korean restaurants. If you're tired of Japanese ramen, you should try the Korean BBQ or seafood pancakes here!
Late at night, I ran into a lot of drunk people talking loudly on the street. The area doesn't feel very safe.
You can only get authentic Korean BBQ here in Shin-Okubo!
They've totally recreated all the trendy Korean accessories, food, and beauty products here. The supermarket is super cheap too. It really feels just like being in Korea! My five-day Japan-Korea trip was unforgettable.
This whole area is like a shopper's paradise! There are tons of Korean beauty products and lots of tasty, affordable Korean restaurants. For a moment, I almost felt like I was actually in Korea.
