By walking between stations
This stunning 4K HDR walking video, recorded on the evening of March 22, 2025, takes viewers on a scenic journey through the vibrant neighborhoods of Tokyo, specifically covering the path from JR Okachimachi Station to JR Ueno Station. Captured by the channel 'walking between stations' using an Osmo Pocket 3, the video spans roughly 30 minutes and offers a real-time urban adventure filled with local flavor and city charm.
The walk begins at JR Okachimachi Station at 19:18 and proceeds along Kasuga Dori, which is designated as Tokyo Metropolitan Road No.453. This thoroughfare is an essential urban artery, bustling with vehicles, pedestrians, and city life. From there, the video shifts onto Chuo Dori (Road No.437), passing commercial districts and showcasing Tokyo’s seamless blend of modernity and tradition.
One of the highlights of the walk is Nakamachi Street, a more tranquil, atmospheric stretch that contrasts beautifully with the main roads. The walker then passes along the Kanda Hakusan Line (No.452), guiding us through lesser-known but equally charming streets until reaching the iconic Ueno area. Along the way, we see the curious Ueno-hirokoji alleys and the vibrant Ueno Naka-dori Shopping Street.
The journey concludes with a walkthrough of Ameyoko, a famous open-air market known for its variety of vendors and street food, before ending at the bustling JR Ueno Station Plaza. The route provides a microcosm of Tokyo’s layered personality: dynamic, traditional, and constantly moving. It's a must-watch for travelers looking to experience the essence of Tokyo nightlife on foot.
