Scene from a Tokyo side street

When I first came to Tokyo, the city’s bright lights and busy streets were a huge draw; their fascinating mix of colour and confusion making them utterly irresistible and a constant delight.

But, as time has gone on, it’s the capital’s side streets that increasingly attract me, both for their character, and the characters that frequent them.

    At least there’s an option and the side-streets don’t look terribly dangerous to cut through. Must be nice.

      That’s very true Lizzy. It’s not something I really think about anymore, but yeah, it is nice to be able to wander anywhere without any concerns at all.

    Don’t blame you, the crowds would drive me crazy. Good shot. Very cinematic.

      Thanks! Some days it’s easy to deal with them. Others it’s not…
