Begin your walk at Doutor Coffee Shop near the station to get a coffee in hand, then head to Kitsunezuka Kofun Green Space for a stroll among the trees. Afterwards, rest at Paiyaki Sabo, and close out the walk at AU BON VIEUX TEMPS in the Todoroki area.
Located in Oyamadai 3-chome, Setagaya, this well-known coffee chain is a convenient first stop to fuel up before exploring the neighbourhood. Its central position near the station makes it a natural starting point for the walk.
A preserved kofun tucked into the residential streets, this green space offers a quiet, leafy retreat from city life. It adds an unexpected historical dimension to what is otherwise a very everyday neighbourhood, making it a highlight of the route.
True to its name — "pie-baking tea room" — this spot is where you can settle in with freshly baked pie and a pot of tea. It makes for a peaceful mid-walk pause, especially after time spent in the green space.
Situated at 2-1-3 Todoroki, Setagaya, this spot with a distinctive French name is a fitting finale for the walk. Venturing a little further into the Todoroki direction, it gives the route a satisfying sense of completion.
