This is Shinjuku, this area is famous (and infamous) for a myriad of clubs, bars, restaurants, shops (electronics, camera, phones, sexy toys, clothes in rubber and not), especially for young people, incredibly busy during the day, and, if possible, busyer at night, all night long. On my first trip to Tokyo, it was Summer, arriving late morning, meeting friend for dinner, went to drink something (in the Lost in Translation location) my wife and I went to sleep round midnight, but jet legged and around 4am. both where awake and hungry. No problem, let's go to Shinjuku! There is alive and incredibly busy all the times and you can find all kind of food, we went for a fantastic "ramen", noodles in hot meat (or soy) broth. Delicious! Needles to say I wasn't allowed to visit som sort of shops ... the most intersting kind, wher yo find very colorfull and battery operated things .... ove 18 may be understand. Also non battery operated goodyes, like used underwear complete of an instant picture of the pretty young girl that worn it for a while ..... mmmmm. (initially posted on the 14th July 2007)
Tokyo really comes alive at night with all the buzz and neon lights. This is a great picture that really captures that feeling.
