  All these little nooks and crannies, the narrow alleyways, the neon lights, the way the side streets and buildings have an almost-organic quality to them like some kind of overgrown urban garden, really has a way of capturing the imagination. I&apos;d love to go back when I can!

  I&apos;m in the first few frames here, having a moment that I often have where I sit here and remark at how amazing the camerawork is. The pixels quality, the colours, contrasts, angles, framing... Always a little bit breathtaking how it pops off the screen. <br><br>Okay, I&apos;m going back to watching now.

  I love how empty Japan gets at night even in Tokyo… This is more surreal than anything other that can happen in this Megacity 🤣😂👍🏻❤️

  The shrine down the narrow alleyway is beautiful 💜 I love that buildings are knocked and built again, not only for safety reasons, but also to keep the area developing and modern - but it wouldn’t help someone like me who gets lost easily 😆

  It&apos;s really a testament to Japanese culture and ingenuity that they&apos;ve managed to keep such beautiful traditional shrines even in the most modern and densely packed of cities. Amazing!

  When I visited Japan I spent hours walking around at night. It feels so safe. It&apos;s often empty and quiet, but there are still plenty of lights. People don&apos;t let their dogs out. It&apos;s just calm. The bug noise quiets down too.

  Everytime I see backstreets, alleyways and tiny hidden shines I can barely contain my wonder and excitement. One of my most favorite things in the whole world is how Japan builds, so much wonder and fantasy carefully tucked away. I just want to walk around everywhere for days and days, It&apos;s just breathtaking

  Being a bit of a nerd, I like Akihabara. The otaku shops are packed to the gills with Anime, bring your credit card and a big suitcase. 💳.<br><br>It&apos;s so different at nighttime , so quiet. When it&apos;s busy it&apos;s busy, with lights and sounds, its tourists, maids (from the maid cafes) and hedgehog cafe leaflet hander outers.<br><br>The shrine, you showed is somewhere I always have a detour (via Don Quixote of course) to when I take someone new to Akihabara. The look on their faces are priceless. <br><br>I know what you mean to go to places before they close down or buy stuff before the stop selling it. I missed out on the Akibaranger restaurant and buying some final fantasy 7 potions, (my life&apos;s greatest regret haha).

  I love the little shrine nestled behind the bustle of the city.
