I’ve been staying in Shinjuku which is the corporate hub of Tokyo – hence, home to an array of astounding skyscraper buildings. The area really does seem like gotham city! Check this image for proof:
… and this hasn’t been p-shopped either!!
What i found most bizarre about the area is that the majority of buildings, which stand several km apart, can be reached from the central station through a series of underground walkways. Hence, for me to get to my hotel i never had to step above ground. The wider expanses towards the end of journey were also utilized by the homeless population in times of bad weather. One evening i would say around 200 hundred residents were down there – seeking refuge beneath the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building.
Here is a sort sample from my walk, its slightly bare of content… just as the walkway itself, serving only as a throughway to another place and not really a ‘place’ in itself.
