Shimo-Kitazawa, Tokyo, Japan by:

“This is a great little hippy part of Tokyo, no cars, lots of nice shops and restaurants, home of Tokyo’s first hemp shop and hemp restaurant, also did you know that it is legal to sell mushrooms in Japan? Just look outside the station here! Hokkaido is Japans North Island and is a nature paradise. It also has lots of wild hemp growing, some of which is quite smokable apparently. Japan Alps – during the summer it hosts lots of outdoor festivals and rave parties. These are real hippy congregations – people you don’t see too often in Japan they suddenly appear. Where do they live?!”
