The Cityscape Diversity of Tokyo

avatar

While walking through Tokyo, the diversity of the landscape is always surprising you. The mixture of architectural styles from several periods of history and various world locations make a mishmash of scenes that can reach from confusing... to lovely.

One minute you're walking around in a large street like the one you see above, with a giant mess of signs and cables everywhere...

... the next minute you walk into an alley where charming houses like the one below are right next to more recent buildings...

Walk a few more steps and you might even find a Moroccan Style Bar... with a lot of growing vegetation decorating it, to make you feel welcomed or confused. I guess it depends on the person. Some might find all this vegetation a little over the top while others find it relaxing.

On the same wall, just a couple of meters ahead, there's a sculpture of a praying Buddha.

As soon as you walk out the alley, the big city and its big buildings hit you in the face again.

I've felt that my visit to Tokyo was very short and if I had more time, I would definitely have walked these streets in a more relaxed way. Since I was with my family, we rushed through every street, moving from one place to the next, without hardly enough time to sink in the cityscape around us. 😂


All of these photos were taken with a smartphone... but I hope you enjoyed them.

Great contrasts! Where I was so far, definitely most contrasting was Tel-Aviv, when skyscrapers on one side of the road and some old two stairs buildings on another.. looks kind of crazy ;)

I think it would be nice if I do some strolling in that cool and calm city.
I love the first shot.

Even you didn't have to much time and rushed the streets, you did get a feeling of the different architecture and the different historical times. You really managed to find the contrast here. Thanks for sharing :)

Yes, when I was there, I hardly had the time to take out my camera so I used the phone a lot more than usual.

Thanks for your visit and comment. Here's a little bit of !BEER and a !DERANGED token for you.

Lovely shots! I never visited Tokyo, but from what you say, it definitely is an “unplanned” City, like New York. This is a real estate term 😉 I learned when I got my real estate sales agent license, many years ago. Hence the mixture of architectural styles; buildings built on top of others, at various points in time. Fascinating for me.

I think your scripts need some improvement. You fail 999 times to get one right! 🤣
Better luck next time?

Thanks for your post. wonderful pictures of Tokyo. you have an excellent camera because the picture are beautiful. I see what you say about one minute a busy, bustling city, then turn a corner and off the main is a small business.

You need to stake more BEER (6 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)
