Beautifully overgrown Tokyo businesses

With rainy season now upon us, the increasing heat and humidity, along with the aforementioned wet weather, means Tokyo’s already flourishing foliage is set to become even more lush and vibrant. Colours that are sometimes as amazing as the ability of trees and bushes to take over a building, and in a few cases almost become the building. So here then are some such structures from over the years. A few of which I’ve shown before. Each one is a businesses of some kind — or at least was a businesses back in the day. All of them, however, remain a treat to regularly revisit.

    What a verdant collection. I can really feel the heat and humidity in these. I can also feel the presence of so much life whether it has roots and leave or legs and wings.

      Thanks. We are definitely getting both the heat and humidity now. Fair bit of rain too. Not good for human life, but very good for those other forms you mentioned.

    The green is so lovely in the midst of all of that concrete, etc. Tsuyu has some benefits!

      Yes, it does. Sometimes hard to fully appreciate them though!

    The photos are sublime! Would it be possible to obtain the addresses of these places to have the chance to see it in real life? 🙂
