By Tokyo Twilight

This video takes viewers on an immersive nighttime journey through Tokyo, beginning at the iconic Tokyo Skytree near Oshiage Station. The walk lasts over six hours and covers approximately 21 kilometers, making it a true marathon through some of Tokyo’s most famous districts. The first part of the walk, featured in this video, captures the hushed tranquility of the city at night as the filmer makes their way toward Tokyo Tower.

Starting at Tokyo Skytree (00:01:53), the route moves through Asakusa (00:35:57), home to the historic Sensō-ji Temple and the vibrant Nakamise shopping street. As the walk progresses to Kuramae (01:11:22), a quieter part of the city known for its traditional craftsmanship, the shift in ambiance becomes evident. Navigating further, Akihabara (01:49:24) is next, typically bustling with electronics shops and anime stores—though at this late hour, it takes on a somewhat eerie, tranquil atmosphere without its usual crowds.

Continuing onto Kanda (02:15:01) and then reaching central Tokyo (02:41:11), the city's modern skyscrapers and polished streets are illuminated by streetlights, offering stunning reflections in the rain-soaked pavement. Passing through Hibiya (03:03:45), which features historical landmarks and luxury buildings, the walk culminates at Tokyo Tower (03:40:06), a beautifully lit beacon of the city skyline. The rain adds a serene touch to the entire journey, amplifying the peaceful yet cinematic experience.

This nocturnal stroll offers an unparalleled view of Tokyo in an entirely different light—calm, rainy, and mesmerizing. If you’re fascinated by Tokyo’s quiet beauty and late-night ambiance, this video is a must-watch.
