Probably not on a lot of your radars but Kichijoji is voted the most wanted to live in town in the whole of Tokyo.
Located on the Sobu and Chuo lines to the West of Tokyo, Kichijoji has a wide variety of shopping facilities, cafes, restaurants, zakka in the many shotengai that can be found in the area.
The convenient accessibility to the shopping facilities from the residential areas that are a stones throw away is another popularity factor.
Kichijoji is also home to Inokashira Park which is a great place to relax for the family and couples - especially during the cherry blossom season.
Kichijoji is also easily accessible to the following universities which is why you will spot a load of students in the area.
I've been spending quite a bit of time in Kichijoji of late having regular meetings with the guy who brought us Cowboy Bebop, Blood: The Last Vampire, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Samurai Champloo, Eureka Seven, Toward the Terra and Eden of the East - Sato Dai.
We got Moomin cafes - its that popular over here!
McDonalds had a campaign where they turn an egg timer as soon as its your turn to order. If they didn't serve you your food in 60 seconds then you get free food. During the campaign, they had customers who were purposely being asses to buy time and even ones who slammed their fists on the counter to get the sand to fall quicker.
