4K・ Tokyo rainy night walk around Akabane

🕒 07/15 7pm 🌡️ +23℃ 🚶‍♂️5km
I had fun at ‪@NomadicGaijin‬ live stream at Tokyo Akabane and decided to film my own rainy ASMR walk in between.
I started from Akabane station, walked through restaurant street on the eastern side of the train line then went on through the western side, looked around residential area, visited Akabane Hachiman shrine and returned to the eastern side. In the end I walked to Arakawa River. Finished at the river without any dry place around to replace depleted camera battery.
Does it have Blade Runner vibes?
One poor kitty was found 😿.

This is absolutely 100% what comes to mind every time I think about my personal concept of "homesick for a place you've never been." This peaceful atmosphere is genuinely cathartic and the closeness of everything gives me a diorama-like sense of coziness.

[@williamstephens9945]

Nothing is better to watch than a rainy Japanese night walk!

[@StuffOffYouStuff]

Agree!

Really makes me wistful for all the late night walks and bike rides I'd take in rural Japan.

Japan looks so surreal on a rainy night it’s like a Video game and I love it!

[@20spartacus81]

Me too its magic!!!!🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️❤❤❤🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

because the art comes from real life

@@RelaxingGameShow i dont know i think they made the streets like that after a movie

[@burd7455]

RTX enabled too.

[@gormenfreeman499]

Many video games go for these kind of overly detailed but cramped designs like this because it has lower draw distance so doesnt overload the hardware and lag.😂

[@TheFlush1980]

That’s what I love the most about Japan. I loved walking in the rain on a warm summer night. Those cluttered streets full of sounds and smells. And then finding a cozy tiny restaurant and enjoying the food and the company of my partner while the rain is coming down. That’s just pure happiness for me.

[@angelsapparent]

Walking in the Kingdom dude! 🫠

is it really as safe as people say? at night mostly

[@jamjardj1974]

Sounds lovely.

you can't replace that with being there in person

[@MediaTechnologyVideoEditor8426]

Yes I Can

[@curiouscat428]

​@@MW-bs1nb Yes I can. Tokyo is overrated. From someone who used to go to school there ❤😊

[@MW-bs1nb]

@@curiouscat428 it's a huge difference between living there/being used to this place and travelling there for a rare experience and that rare experience is something you can't replace by watching some videos about it if you work in a theme park every day, it won't be any special anymore too, but for visitors it is special

[@saw141]

7:11 - "It's funny how everyone here has the same umbrella, too." Made me laugh. This footage is so valuable and beautiful.

[@asslover1513]

Its a disposable umbrella

[@headspaceastronaut]

the thing that surprises me the most is that you can just go take a walk in the middle of the night and feel completely safe, here in my country Argentina you couldn't make a single block without getting robbed or worse. What a difference to live in a first world country.

[@brendanfoehr5086]

7:12 "It's funny how everyone has the same umbrella" I was thinking the same thing but was not expecting anyone to say it lol

[@brothersoulshine]

38:08. Did you know the train would go past the moment you approached the viewpoint? The timing was perfect.

[@thunderball6908]

The clearing away of the water from the lens is surprisingly endearing.

[@darkevilazn]

Man I loved walking at night in the rain back when I was studying abroad in Japan. It was just so fun. This takes me back to those days.

[@GuyHesoo]

This video made me feel so cozy, the streets are so relaxing, even the crowded ones, I don’t know how to explain it.

[@dannydevito4100]

Same here. The atmosphere is undescribable. I'd give almost anything to experience that again.

[@buschleuchte9905]

no cars, thats it

[@12kerat]

Am I crazy or I find it, in part, somehow creepy

[@SmilingOrange]

@@buschleuchte9905 This is the answer.

[@shiukongyu7819]

I like the part in 23:35 and 39:10 when you are walking alone in the rain. It feels so serene and tranquil. Would love to see more rainy park-walking videos.

[@asslover1513]

I thought it was fcvking scary

[@MDrepresentah]

Straight up a video game lol

[@fox_flix]

Something about the serene walking experience, the way living can occur without even getting in a car. Being able to find yourself in a bustling plaza with food and lights, and being a short walk from an empty serene park and shrine. I would love to visit one day, and just find myself walking around enjoying the sounds and scents, enjoying some good food as well with no real goal. That is peace.

[@Tbird197]

I Watch this every night to fall asleep

[@mondoquillmondo6705]

Fascinating video. Every so often an odd-looking stork with a blue neck pops up and spits on the camera.

[@laneyluneva]

This is such a large contrast to American cities. Such a lack of just trash cans and litter is incredible. The pedestrian friendliness is also amazing.

[@americanrepair]

I would like to personally thank you for not only the great video, but also constantly cleaning the lens.

[@hofficz1]

Omg, i love that magic feeling when you walking aroun many small fast foods, shops with vintage look...

[@2eleven48]

What is it that makes Japan so astonishingly beautiful with rain and snow?All the great artists captured this.

[@dskane4302]

Das sieht da sooo Wunderschön aus. Ich hab echt Tränen in den Augen bekommen. Ich möchte da so gerne mal hin. Ich Liebe Japan ♥️♥️

[@tyrranicalt-rad6164]

I hope the kitty's have their umbrella's and rain coats on ! 😸 ☔ 🌧

[@SwindoMMT]

Something really captivating about the Japanese backstreets, so full of little hole-in-the-wall restaurants and bars. feels like you could just walk around with your mates until you find some little eatery or watering hole to call "your special place".

[@Nasenharbaer]

It is incredible how clean the streets are. Unimaginable in German cities. Here, people are too lazy to throw cigarettes in the ashtray by the trash can. Thanks for the Date, Time in the description. 👍🏼

[@RayoSombrio78]

Spain is worse

[@joeykusters501]

Not every store has ashtrays, I throw mine on the street because there’s not a single ashtray in the city and I don’t wanna light a trash can on fire

[@THETRIVIALTHINGS]

City walks can be nice. But nothing beats walks alone in a peaceful and quiet environment. Especially at night. That isolated night walk was heaven. I loved it very much. I wish I was there. I also liked how that car was trying to get out, but saw you and backed up, and you as well stopped. My god! That level of consideration and politeness for strangers is, I think unheard of over here.

[@Zerobob26]

I absolutely love the narrow city backstreets, intricately littered with intimate shops, restaurants, and bars. It creates such a wonderful atmosphere. ... and then there's the neat, closely knit suburban housing, which has a peaceful atmosphere all of its own. ... and it's all so CLEAN... No litter or graffiti anywhere! You are very lucky to have such lovely cities in Japan, full of character. I hope to visit one day.

[@MDrepresentah]

Yea seriously is most of Japan like that? Like very little to no litter or graffiti wtf?

[@mygetawayart]

i think one quality everybody notuices but no one really brings up about Japanese city streets is how cluttered they are. I mean they're impeccably clean don't get me wrong, it's just that they're full of signage, bikes, vending machines, outdoor seating areas and so on and so forth. Clutter makes a place feel lived in and therefore more welcoming.

[@carbonefgs1265]

yes i love too I absolutely love the narrow city backstreets, intricately littered with intimate shops, restaurants, and bars. It creates such a wonderful atmosphere.

[@roderickfemm8799]

I lived in Akabane-nishi for 10 months in 1979-80 and went to that station every day, and went to that shopping street at least once a week. It's hard to believe how much it's changed. I think there were only two train lines at the time, the Akabane line that ran back and forth to Ikebukuro, and (I think) the Keihin-Tohoku line. What a difference!

[@puupasiecodrowonszniejacek]

Apart from the Hinohara Village walks this is, in my opinion, the most beautiful walk in your entire catalogue. Simply stunning. Thank you.

[@ct6852]

Love all the colors and lights. Really beautiful when you turn into the park and everything is tinted green. Good work. 👍

[@ranjan100100]

In general, with its presence and reputation, rain can be connected to one’s memory, mood, and behavior. It is something that affects your world ultimately when it’s happening, and when emotions of the human mind are subjected to it nothing can be predicted.

[@LSchelvin71]

Yes, Light rain always making that feel
