Late Night Walk in Tokyo Harajuku | Fashion Capital at 2AM

Have you watched Alice in Borderland on Netflix? In it, there is a scene of Tokyo city where there is no one but the main characters. After watching that drama, I wanted to walk around Tokyo late at night. The place was Harajuku, known as a fashion city, and the time was 2AM.
I thought that just walking around might be boring for a video, so I added a little kinda guide to Harajuku and my memories. The content is totally different from my previous videos, but I hope you enjoy.
It's night so of course all the shops are closed, but some of them "closed down" due to the pandemic. Still, the culture won't die.

Because of covid restrictions, restaurants are closed before 9pm

[@sakshiiii1270]

Its because Covid, but before covid its only some part of tokyo full of crowds 24/7, because train will stop operation at 12 midnight

A much older cousin used to have this No One Sleeps in Tokyo song at the car when I was little. Perhaps its true in days past 🙃

It's because covid prevention

[@kiankhoo555]

Never thought Harajuku could be so quiet at any time, as if everyone just disappeared, just like Alice in borderlands!

[@riceseed]

So glad I’m not the only one who thought of that

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

The atmosphere is so surreal. All the lights are on in this neon wonderland but very few people to see. Almost like you wandered into another reality. Awesome video man!

[@sorekaratravel4533]

Thanks!

[@jeffyeah4256]

@@sorekaratravel4533 what is your filming gear?

[@gaolizhang197]

One of the main reasons why some parts is dead is because the transport eg. Trains stop running at 11pm or 12am till 5am I think. They do it to repair and check all the train lines to see if there’s any cracks etc. japan really goes above and beyond to make sure that the Japanese people are safe.

I have felt fairly safe walking in my area of Edmonton, Alberta between 3:00AM and 7:00AM. Most of the homeless people are hibernating at that time. But now with more homeless people since CoVid hit, one had to be very mindful of their actions when out between the times I mentioned above.

[@neon825]

@Gerry S.S Many big cites in Europe are perfectly safe at night. Sometimes there is that one part town that you shouldn't go but that's it

I was really impressed about Alice in Borderland... The first thought that came my mind was how was possible to find Tokyo so empty in order to shoot their scenes! Looking forward for the next season! Thank you for this lovely video 🙏

Late night walks are amazing. Love that I get to see Tokyo at this time of night - it’s so wonderfully eerie how empty it is.

[@tasnimmeera6392]

Man it was a scary walk to watch...I couldn't help but to imagine myself in a horror game, expecting jump scares at every dark corner ;) If I were you, I'd carry a baseball bat throughout the walk (just in case a zombie/monster pops out!) hahhahahhaha

You said the trash will be picked up and lo and behold it was being picked up when you came back from the shrine. Everything happens like clockwork in Japan. Something unique about that country. Amazing.

Its even cooler when you've been to Harajuku before, I visited Japan In 2020 (April just before the Covid shutdown) And I miss It so much! This gives me comfort to be like 'Oh yeah, there's the Hoshino Coffee like always' or 'Omg that shoe shop Is still there'
