In Tokyo’s Shinjuku district, there is an area of bars and nightclubs that come alive in the darker hours. Golden Gai is famous for its tiny establishments that allow only 2-10 people in at a time. Many won’t even let foreigners in or charge a cover if you’re not Japanese. Whether you walk around during the day or night, it’s a unique part of Tokyo that is a must-see on your visit there.
On my first visit to Japan, I tried to capture various times of the day in this little district, as well as use my LensBaby Composer lens to get some interesting affects while shooting in the area. I hope my photographs can convince you to add this to your list of places to visit in the Japanese capital city.
