Where is Shibuya Sky? Is that one of the new buildings? Doesn't look like something that was there when I lived there.
Posted on Twitter. This is of incredible beauty.
Ah ok, that was the big construction project that was going on last couple times I was there. A couple years ago I had a meal with old friends in the new restaurant area where Toyoko-sen used to be. It had "tracks" on the floor to show it's old location before they put it underground. Definitely need to check this place out next time I'm there. See if I can see my old residence.Shibuya Scramble Square, opened to the public in November 2019 I believe. I have been planning to visit The Roof for a long time, イェンス beat me to it.
PS: I still have many unposted photos. So I'll be back.
I can't compete on photo quality with my humble phone but I was pleased with this one taken at the east exit of Shinjuku station about 9.30pm last night.
Yes, the government's urges weren't strong enough! Having strayed no more than about 4km from home during the last SOE, I wanted to see for myself what the city was like at night. I caught the train from Nerima-ku to Roppongi early evening, and there were never more than about 10 people in the carriage. Roppongi was very quiet. I then walked along the main road to Shibuya, which was the busiest place, though still much quieter than normal. It was a bit worrying to see a few groups of people huddled together smoking - you'd think that they'd keep their distances from each other then considering the potential for transmission. After that I walked the backstreets to Shinjuku. Kabuki-cho was like a wasteland with rats scuttling around, bags of waste everywhere, and a small number of desperate looking men and women braving the cold, on the lookout for equally desperate punters. I was very relieved to get to Seibu Shinjuku station and catch the train home.Do you mean to imply you were breaking the curfew yesterday night?

I won't do it again!
An oasis of rural tranquility in Nerima-ku.
They didn't have anything for sale today. Actually it's the first time I've seen the place, despite it being less than 2km from where I live.Local greengrocer?
