Nishi-Ogi Cha Sampo

With its old-school arcades, dinky art galleries and plethora of oddball shops, Nishi-Ogikubo is always an interesting neighborhood to go a-wandering around. All the more so when many of its local businesses are doling out free cups of tea, as they’ll be doing this weekend. There are nearly a hundred places participating in this year's ‘Nishi-Ogi Cha Sampo’ (tea stroll): 68 shops and galleries giving a complimentary cuppa to all visitors, plus 30 cafes and eateries offering special deals. There's a map detailing all of the participating venues, but if you can't get your hands on a physical copy it's also available in PDF form at the Cha Sampo website.
