reload

Reload is a two-story complex in Shimokitazawa that stretches along a former railway site, laid out so that visitors walk through it as if moving along alleys between buildings. Rather than stopping at each shop, the visit is a way of taking in the whole space by following the broken-up buildings and lanes. It is an urban regeneration project built on the former rail land, and it includes a refined resting area that differs from the retro neighborhood scenery of Shimokitazawa. Visitor numbers are high, so it does not suit anyone expecting a quiet place.
