These previously posted sights and sounds from a Japanese drinking alleyway were taken in a place that is as unique as it is atmospheric. Unfortunately the little spot below can’t match that anymore, as even at night it’s a lot quieter than it used to be. Half of it has been demolished, and a good number of the remaining bars are no longer in operation. The Drinkers’ Alley sign at the entrance, on the other hand, still looks as incredible as ever, and its rather precarious appearance is only added to by the cluttered and suitably shabby surroundings.

I love the sign but I’m so intrigued by the bicycles in the corner! 😉
Lee says
Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on there. Very messy parking perhaps?
Scruffy says
One heck of a dismount, I’d say.
Lee says
Haha, that’s so true!
Gilles Poitras says
Which part of Tokyo is this alley located in?
Lee says
It’s way out east in katsushika ku.
john says
That’s a rather subtle (but nice) RGB full (bike) frame capture.
Lee says
Ah yes, good call. I did like the dash of colour those bicycles brought to the frame. And of course the inexplicable reason why two perfectly good looking bikes were shoved in the corner like that
john says
.. and the reds, greens and blues echoed in the frame itself. I’m left wondering if she parks up in the same way or if the sign explains all?
Lee says
Haha, it really good. Perhaps there’s even a person asleep under there…
