Streets of Tokyo - OmoteSando

princeofseoul · October 9th, 2005, 05:38 PM

Hi, fellow japanese forumers: I'm located nearby Tokyo these days and go
downtown once in a while to take some street shots of the different
neighbourhoods. I don't know the city very well so far, and all I can give is
pictures and not too much details on the what the areas are famous for and
so on. I should become proficient soon thus, I hope

I am especially fond of small streets with people in the foreground and the
occasional skyscraper in the distance. I hope you like them!

Here are a few shots in the area nearby Omote-sando subway:

cheers

SUNNI · October 12th, 2005, 02:30 PM

i cant help but think some of these streets look rather like streets of Seoul

Nick · October 12th, 2005, 04:33 PM

Really good pictures.They show Tokyo's lighter side.Without the crowds and crazy mayhem of the big centers

Wagahai · October 14th, 2005, 02:31 PM

Unique pictures, nice

Tk101 · October 14th, 2005, 10:05 PM

are you going to post more pics.... if possible can you post pics of Bunkyo ku.... thanks

sander · October 14th, 2005, 11:00 PM

Nice street level photos. These narrow streets look awesome.

@tk101

I'll be posting a thread on a different Tokyo neighbourhood every week or second week. There's the famous Shibuya, Shinjuku, Azakusa, Ginza neighbourhoods I wish to cover as well as some lesser known areas: if some have special requests, let me know and I'll do my best to find some time. By the way, which subway stop/line is Bunkyo ku? Also, I'm looking for these types of areas in Tokyo: small hills with mostly low-rise houses and unusual architecture. Suggestions are welcomed

demanjo · October 15th, 2005, 08:19 AM

As many as possible dude... im heading to Tokyo very soon so i need as much orientation as possible.

Tell me, i am arriving in January (second time ill be there, after November), with my mum, dad, and two little sisters (8 & 10). Do you have any neighbourhoods you can recommend?? Ie, attractions nearby, but quiet-ish, with good transport, but mainly safe (i know tokyo is generally safe tho).

Cheers man
Thanks again for the pics

Nice shots. Seems hard to take a "dirty" photo of Tokyo. For it's size I just can't believe it's so clean.

i'm not familiar with tokyo transportation routes...but i know that if you find the Tokyo Universities hongo campus you will be in Bunkyo ku.
i think this link would be helpful... http://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/campusmap/map01_02_e.html

basically its a 8 minute walk form Hongo-sanchome Station. (Subway Marunouchi Line) pictures of the university and the surrounding city area.... thank you soo much...

as for small housing areas try um adachi ku....

Almost every ward can be like that - as long as you don't stay on the main street. Even in Shinjuku and Shibuya, just get one or two blocks away from the #1, 2 or 3 streets and it's almost like a different city...

Are you guys gong to stay in an apartment? I think I heard of some nice new-ish ones around Akasaka.

Mosaic · October 19th, 2005, 05:21 PM

The street scenes in Tokyo are truly impressive. I really wanna be there.

Nick · November 9th, 2007, 05:33 PM

Great pics.Even after all these years

SEED · November 10th, 2007, 04:04 PM

i really like street pics! lov to see more!

Hanshin-Tigress · November 10th, 2007, 09:25 PM

looks nice but they suck to drive on. Most japanese prefer north american style roads (big and wide). but yes they do look nice.

ROYU · November 11th, 2007, 10:27 PM

Very nice pics. I love Tokyo streetscenes.

Yup, but if you think those road in the pic is narrow, then you should see some of the roads in Kamakura.
Picturesque but insane.
