If you’re looking for an authentic Asian shopping and dining experience without leaving Japan, Nishi-Kawaguchi is the place to be!
Located just a short train ride from central Tokyo, this lively neighborhood is home to a vibrant community of people from all across Asia — and with that comes an incredible selection of restaurants, supermarkets, and shops.
Walking around Nishi-Kawaguchi feels like taking a trip across the continent. Vietnamese, Filipino, Thai, Chinese, and Korean supermarkets line the streets, packed with ingredients and snacks you won’t easily find elsewhere. Whether you’re craving fresh herbs for Vietnamese pho, authentic Korean kimchi, or specialty spices from Thailand, you’ll find it here.
Speaking of pho, I had one of the best bowls of my life right here in Nishi-Kawaguchi! The broth was rich, the noodles perfectly chewy, and the fresh herbs on top added the perfect touch. I also tried a spicy Mala soup noodle — a dish from China famous for its bold, numbing spiciness — and it was absolutely unforgettable. Every bite was an explosion of flavor.
Nishi-Kawaguchi isn’t just a place to shop — it’s a place to explore, taste, and experience the real flavors of Asia, all in one neighborhood. Whether you’re hunting for rare ingredients or just want to enjoy a delicious meal, you’ll find yourself coming back for more.
