Not your ever striking neon Tokyo

I’ve got so so so many beautiful pictures and memories to share with you from my trips to Japan, but today I’d like to show you a less visited side of Tokyo: the more or less residential areas. Less noise, neons, people, but still beautiful and Japanese in my opinion. With narrow streets, cute cosy buildings and little shops. Enjoy!

As many of you have noticed, Japan is one of the few modern countries that still hasn’t moved the power lines underground. A lot of people say it’s ugly and messy, but I really like it. Maybe growing up in a country which has them in the air still makes me used to the cluttered sight, but I find it oddly romantic, like out of a Ghibli movie. 

Thank you for reading!

  1. Great photos. :) I, as well, love the charm of the more residential areas of Japan. While the neon colors of Shibuya and Shinjuku can be visually exciting, the quiet alleyways away from them all can be just as magical.
