4 Days of Tokyo | 📸 Leica
Photos shot on Leica Q2.
A 4-day photo walk through Tokyo, capturing the transition from the historic book districts to the quiet luxury of the city’s western suburbs. Armed with the Leica Q2, I explore the textures of the Showa-era, modern architectural spaces, and the first signs of the sakura season.
Day 1: Jimbocho Book Town
Starting in Jimbocho, Tokyo’s famous secondhand book district. The afternoon is spent among 100-year-old storefronts and independent shops before heading toward the Imperial Palace moats to catch the early-blooming cherry blossoms.
Day 2: Yoyogi Uehara & Nishihara
A walk through the hilly, sophisticated streets of Yoyogi-Uehara. After a coffee break at the architecturally stunning “uni” inside the Gyre building in Omotesando, I explore the quiet, atmospheric glow of Nishihara Street at dusk.
Day 3: Yanaka Ginza & Tsukiji After Hours
Exploring the “Old Tokyo” charm of Yanaka Ginza and Nippori. After a quick stop to watch the Shinkansen pass at Nishi-Nippori, the day ends with a late-night photography session in the unusually quiet, neon-lit alleys of Tsukiji Market.
Day 4: Jiyugaoka & Denenchofu
A weekend stroll through Jiyugaoka’s trendy boutiques and the peaceful, high-end residential lanes of Denenchofu. The journey concludes at Tamagawa Sengen Jinja with a sunset view overlooking the river and Mt. Fuji in the distance.

Leica Q2で切り取る、東京4日間のフォトウォーク。
歴史ある古本屋街から、閑静な高級住宅街が広がる城西エリアまで。愛機のLeica Q2を手に、昭和の面影が残る街並み、モダンな建築空間、そして咲き始めたばかりの桜を巡ります。
Day 1: 神保町・古本屋街
世界最大の古本屋街、神保町からスタート。築100年を超える趣ある店構えや個性豊かな個人商店を巡り、午後は皇居の千鳥ヶ淵(竹橋・平川濠付近)へ。早咲きの桜を楽しみました。
Day 2: 代々木上原・西原
坂道が多く、洗練された雰囲気の代々木上原を散策。表参道「GYRE」内にある独創的な建築美が魅力の『uni』でコーヒー休憩をした後、夕暮れ時の穏やかな光に包まれた西原通りを歩きます。
Day 3: 谷中銀座・夜の築地
下町情緒あふれる日暮里・谷中銀座へ。西日暮里で新幹線が通り過ぎる瞬間を眺めた後は、深夜の築地市場へ。静まり返った路地とネオンが織りなす、昼間とは違う表情をカメラに収めました。
Day 4: 自由が丘・田園調布
週末の自由が丘でセレクトショップを巡り、落ち着いた高級住宅街が広がる田園調布へ。旅の締めくくりは多摩川浅間神社。展望台から多摩川越しに眺める、富士山と夕日の絶景は必見です。

I love your photos and your channel. Please keep this going. 😍
wonderful video!! love and miss Tokyo so much, I lived for a while in Jiyugaoka 13 years ago it's always so nice to see its street and coolness.
like from Hong Kong. 👍🏻
👌 I like your approach of using more photos than videos.
Very nice photos. Looks like 28mm is very good prime lens for street photography.
