“A confluence of vintage and contemporary....”
Tokyo is a fascinating place. I have not encountered anyone who has been to Tokyo and did not like it. On this night I decided to explore the famous Shibuya crossing again. Despite living in Japan for almost five years, I have been consumed with studying and working that I have neglected to appreciate my surrounding and city. So I decided this time on a holiday after nearly 10 years, to re-explore Tokyo and take my own version of the Shibuya crossing photos.
However, as I walked to re-orient myself, I was drawn to the narrow alleys and I could not take my eyes off the scene. The place displays a dichotomy of old and new, of traditional and ultra modern, of flamboyance and simplicity. And therefore became a confluence of vintage and contemporary that makes it a unique mega city.
One night strolling with fully open senses and living in the moment made my heart and soul full.
I hope you enjoyed dropping by and looking at the street scene photos.
What has been your experience in Tokyo? Let me know if you have stopped by, or took photos yourself of the same spot where I have been.
All photos are mine, taken on Sony Alpha 7II with 50mm F1.8 prime lens.
