John Daub Instagram – Shinjuku’s alleys are an experience and Omoide-Yokocho is a must-visit. It’s no longer a must-eat since many shops have changed owners, quality is not the same (nor the prices) but walking through there, even in the afternoon, is like going back in time. These shacks came up after WWII from necessity and have evolved a little but still feels like the old Showa era. The name means “memory lane” but had been called “piss alley” in its prime … wonder why 😂 you’ll find more tourists than locals but your photos will be incredible! Golden Gai (old shack bars) is nearby and places like Shinbashi, Okachimachi offer an option to old school outdoor urban eating. In modern Japan though, it’s not common anymore. #shinjuku #omoideyokocho #goldengai #onlyinjapan | Posted on 13/May/2023 07:14:39
