2k540 Aki-Oka Artisan

This is a beautiful artisan shopping center. The prices are high, but the quality of the products is amazing. There are shoes, handbags, wallets, coin purses, ceramics, jewelry, and so much more. The hat shop was definitely our favorite.

Definitely a hidden gem 💎 . This is a unique shopping street located beneath the railway tracks between Akihabara and Okachimachi Stations. There are many art and fashion design shops best for art lovers. A great place to explore unique Japanese-made design items.

I had so much fun browsing the various stores in this area. Feels much like a hidden treasure, where you can get both coffee, something to eat and various beautiful hand crafted goods.

This is a unique space in Tokyo. A former carpark converted into a creative space full of independent shops selling unique designs, art, and crafts. There is also an excellent café. It is certainly one of the spots to visit in Tokyo

What a good idea to use the space under the train tracks for a shopping gallery - but this is not an ordinary gallery selling cheap stuff from China. These are local shops selling handmade and artisanal goods, all made in Japan: leather bags and wallets, shoes, pottery, decoration items, clothes etc. Of course it comes with a price, but what you get is Japanese quality and craftsmanship. Two shops that caught my attention: Spingle Move (that has some unique sneakers) and Blue Trick (Japanese denim clothes from Okayama). Great way to support the local artisans and in return get an authentic good Made in Japan.

Want to see something most tourists miss? Check out 2k540 Aki Oka artisan alley under the train tracks for unique souvenirs made by local artists. It’s this really cool atmospheric place that has all of these new hip artisan shops in like a maze of beautiful tunnels under the train tracks.

Nice quaint place for arts and crafts in a nicely refurbished area. If you are looking for souvenirs to really cherish at home or gifts that won't get dumped in a closet somewhere, this is the place. The experience is nice because you are not sensory overloaded by huge crowds, flashy screens, flickering lights and a jumble hyperkenetic sound effects to grab your attention.

This single floor place is located just underneath the train tracks, and is a nice area to look for local arts and crafts, and support the creators here. Shoes, jewelry, and portraits and more are sold here, plus free wifi! I like how very clean and spacious it is here, so we never got stuck in crowds even on a weekend afternoon. It's worth checking out Aki-Oka artisan if you're looking for a shopping centre that's selling local goods!
