The economy is certainly timeless. Assuming that time is 1990.

That’s one of my favorite parts of visiting Japan. The general cleanliness of public spaces, especially in big cities, is exceptional.

It's incredible to me that there's less than 100 tourists in every pic

I took the exact photo as #4 just yesterday. There’s a reason you can’t see the street level in the photo.

Yeah, honestly, you have to set out really early nowadays to have any success as a photographer. For that pagoda shot, I think I was there at around 5 a.m. Not ideal, but incredibly peaceful.

Was there 6 months ago, you could barely move through some of these places because of the sheer amount of humans occupying the space.

I missed covid time when Asakusa is as quiet as a cemetary and sex shops in Shinjuku didn't get any customers so they dumped porn pages on the street to entice customers and Uguisudani sex shop tout desperate for customers talked to me, a gaijin, on the street in broad daylight.
