Japan Golden Gai
Golden Gai is tucked away in a couple of side streets close to Shinjuku station. The streets are so small and narrow that no cars can come in. Most of the houses are small pubs and the hole atmosphere takes you back to pre WWII Japan. An epic place for street photography!
Photography Tips
Come here after sunset when Golden Gai awakes. Bring only a 50 mm f1.8 or faster for good low light. And maybe a wide angle prime like a 15 mm f2.8 or faster.
