The toils of being old in Tokyo

The Japanese population, and thus the capital’s, may well be ageing at a rapid rate, but Tokyo can’t always be an easy place for the elderly to live, especially so when one considers the crowds and almost continuous congestion.

And similarly, when festivals like this one spill out onto the street, they are great fun for those attending, but not so much for those trying to fight their way through.

      Even more so in Sugamo. Nowhere have I been pushed about as much as there….
