Experience the bustling heart of Tokyo in stunning 4K HDR with this immersive winter walking tour from Shin-Okubo to Shinjuku. Filmed on the afternoon of February 1, 2025, the video captures a crisp day in the Japanese capital, with a temperature of 7°C (44.6°F), making it perfect for a stroll through the city’s vibrant streets.

The journey starts in Shin-Okubo, often referred to as Tokyo's Koreatown. This energetic neighborhood is famous for its strong Korean cultural presence, seen in everything from the numerous Korean restaurants and cafes to shops brimming with K-beauty products and K-pop merchandise. Shin-Okubo is a hotspot for international visitors and locals alike, creating a unique cultural atmosphere within Tokyo.

From there, the walking tour heads south toward the hub of Shinjuku. The route meanders into the raucous and colorful Kabukicho district, one of the most iconic entertainment areas in Tokyo, known for its neon-lit streets filled with izakayas, pachinko parlors, karaoke bars, and love hotels. Despite its notoriety as a nightlife district, walking through Kabukicho during daytime provides a glimpse into its more subdued yet equally captivating personality.
