Another long walk through one of the most iconic areas of Tokyo. This time me and my camera are exploring the area around Shinjuku Station – The biggest train station in the entire world.
The walk starts near the east exit of Shinjuku station. From there I head north to Kabukicho, the infamous red light district of Tokyo, that is today more akin to your average tourist trap and best avoided. After Kabukicho I head south, passing through the newly developed (and oddly named) NeWoMan shopping mall. Apparently their christmas illuminations was installed this very day, so you’ll get a view of those in this video too.
Next, I head to the western part of Shinjuku station, where many of the best camera shops in Tokyo are located. This night is also popular with the local salaryman crowd for evening dinner and drinks. I continue the walk past Omoide Yokocho (aka Piss Alley), the famous drinking alley next to Shinjuku Station. From there I pass under the train tracks and head back to the east side of the station, where this walk ends.
This was filmed with a Fujifilm X-T3 in 4K 60FPS. The lens used is a Samyang 12mm F2, and the camera was mounted on a Zhiyun Crane for stability.
