Some shots taken on my night stroll near Shibuya’s JR station on New Year’s Eve, before heading off for Hatsumodo.

(above) A canal located behind a busy street of shops running alongside the Meiji-Dori. Somewhere down the row of shops on the right lies the super delicious Tsukemen Yasube. ( see this older post. )

(below) Tokyo has an astonishing number of vending machines peppered across the city – often they provide a good source of illumination on a otherwise dark and poorly lit street.

(above) A giant billboard (detail below) dominates the Shibuya station skyline, featuring an advertisment for a Final Fantasy game “Granblue Fantasy”, with character design by Hideo Minaba.

(above) “What’s going on TEPCO”, a graffiti sticker I spotted in Daikanyama as I was en route to the snazzy Tsutaya T-Site bookstore. (below) This No Crossing sign is a practically a canvas for grafitti artists. See this older post here.
