Beginning with a few looks at Ogikubo, focusing on old-style shotengai streets (first Kyokai-Dori, and then a section of old streets near the station), followed by looks at Shinjuku and Ginza, and wrapping up this set of video clips with midnight views of the Chuo Line out at Hino Station.

Walking down most of Ogikubo's Kyokai Dori just before lunch - probably the least crowded time of the day; after the morning rush and before lunch. Also looking down a few side-streets as I walk along.

"Ogikubo Old Shotengai Walkabout" (100528Fr-1205)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaVtm3Jb_lM
Walking through a small network of shotengai shopping streets near Ogikubo Station. Notice that there are some empty gaps and there is a mix of old and new shops.
The fact that most of the shops are fairly old makes it an interesting area. When shops are independently run, they have some character - once they become chain clones, they may be nice stores, but chain stores never have much character of their own (not that I've seen anyway).

Looking out the front cab of the last inbound train as it pulls into Tachikawa Station, and then looking out on the platform about ten before one in the morning. The station guy who runs down the platform is making sure there isn't anyone milling about or asleep on the platform before they close the doors on the last train.
