Welcome to Japan at Night. 🇯🇵 A new photography project exploring the magic that happens after the sun goes down. Ancient shrines, endless neon, and cherry blossoms in full bloom.

On my walk home last night, I also stopped by Maeno Kumano Jinja, a local shrine in Tokyo’s Itabashi Ward, and took a few photos. I’ll probably come back one more time later this year, in order to capture some more details, and maybe at a different time of day.

Full-size, unedited iPhone shots.

On my favorite topic of neighborhood shops in Itabashi, here is another photo set. The twist with today’s series is that shops no. 2 and 3 have vanished in the meantime (and no. 1 seems in danger) - they had to make way for new shiny buildings that completely lack their predecessors’ nostalgic flair. 😢

1. Alfa Cafe
2. Komaya Retro Games
3. Kenzō Taiyaki
4. Butcher Uchiyama
