Koenji Volunteer Guide

This site introduces the information of travel, history, events, shops, and tips of the subculture in Koenji (高円寺)Town timely.

Koenji is melting spots of subculture. Suginami city has four stations of the JR Chuo Line that runs through Tokyo metropolitan area. It is known for the attractive towns which are developed from its center outward and has so called, “the JR Chuo Line culture” from the aspect of literature, art, and subculture. Koenji is one of the towns in Suginami City. “Koenji” is named after the Koenji temple established in the year of 1,555. eople don’t recall the temple when hearing the name, but recall the interesting town for seasonally held four big town events, its unique subculture, and active shopping streets. There are fourteen (14) shopping streets in the town, which contains a lot of one-man operated unique shops like open-air chicken barbecue shops and old cloths. Also, we can find many music clubs in the town, and many prospective musicians and artists live in Koenji. Koenji is often used for a typical Japanese model town in novels and songs. Koenji is not a typical tourist spot, but is the town you can relax and can feel Japanese hospitality.

(Review - Koenji FES)
Koenji FES, in another word, Koenji Autumn Festival had just finished yestarday with big cheers and applause even in raining condition.
Koenji has four major festivals for a year, Daidogei (Street Performance) in May, Awaodori (Awa-dancing) in August, Koenji FES in October, and finally Engei (Rakugo comic storytelling) festival in February. Koenji FES is very unique festival of Koenji festivals. The others are based on tradition, arts, and acrobats, but Koenji FES is, what's called, "Chaos". I myself a volunteer town guide, but even for me, if a visitor ask me what is Koenji FES, I am embrassed to explain it. Sometimes, they're professional wrestling, street music performance, or monster or ghoast street walkaround. The Koenji FES represnts Koenji Chuo-line cultures, it is integrated modern and up to date cultures. Without those festivals, you could enjoy yourself and find something new in Japanese local cultures.
