Break time in a gritty Tokyo alleyway

There are certainly nicer places to enjoy a well-earned break, but in an often ludicrously busy city, this alleyway does offer something of a respite — at least from most people.

    Cool shot! 🙂 I guess sitting there for some time is better than no break at all.

      Cheers! Yes, can’t argue with that. Felt a bit guilty to be honest interrupting him, although clearly not that guilty as I still pressed the shutter…

      Good question. Don’t know to be honest. Only familiar with the car registration plate system. But only a scooter, so more than likely.

        My quick search suggested 90-124cc for a pinku plate. It is certainly more ‘Hello Kitty’ than gritty! I would have been errm overjoyed :O)

          Ah, ok. Perhaps that’s just his little about town transport, but at home he has a monster of a machine!

    A view of the future? Alleyways like this will likely be the last holdout for smokers……..

      That’s very true. The number of cigarette butts on the floor suggest it’s aready a popular little spot.
