Join me on an urban exploration walk through Setagaya in Tokyo. I begin up by the elevated expressway at Mishuku and make my way towards Setagaya park. From there, I wander the backstreets of Shimouma passing through everyday neighborhoods as I make my way back up to Sangenjaya.

Good morning from Japan!

Four scenes from a walk around Okusawa in the Setagaya Ward of Tokyo. Quite a pleasant area to explore with a lot of small shops and restaurants.

A decade since Tokyo's Shibuya and Setagaya wards introduced Japan's first "partnership system" offering public recognition to LGBTQ+ and other sexual-minority couples, the system has spread across the country. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/18/japan/society/same-sex-marriages/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #samesexmarriage #shibuya #setagaya #tokyo #localgovernment #akashi
A decade on, Japan steadily warms to same-sex partners

As lawsuits seeking the recognition of same-sex marriage proceed in courts nationwide, municipalities and others continue to explore how best to protect individual rights.

Despite many clues left at the scene, police are still desperately searching for whoever is behind the brutal murder of a family of four in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward 25 years ago. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/30/japan/crime-legal/setagaya-murder-search/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #tokyo #setagaya #japanesepolice #stabbings
Police continue searching for killer of Setagaya family 25 years on

At the time of the brutal murders, Tokyo police thought the case would be quickly resolved, but the culprit and motives have remained unknown for 25 years.

Join me on a quiet walk through the lesser-seen corners of Sangenjaya, weaving from the bustle of Chazawa-dori into peaceful residential lanes. My destination is Saishōji Temple, a humble sanctuary where time seems to slow down. I end my walk with a glimpse of the charming Tokyu Setagaya Line.
