Kichijoji consistently ranks as Tokyo residents' most desired place to live, combining a great shopping arcade (Sun Road), vibrant nightlife, excellent restaurants and the beautiful Inokashira Park - one of Tokyo's most loved green spaces, with a central pond, paddleboats and Inokashira Zoo. The Ghibli Museum (Studio Ghibli) is a 15-minute walk through the park - booking months in advance is essential.
