Yūrakuchō 有楽町

Yūrakuchō is a small area of Tokyo where businessmen come to eat yakitori and drink beer after work. It is close to Ginza and Tokyo station. There are many small bars and restaurants under the railway arches and down tight alleyways. It has changed very little since the early postwar period.

These photographs were taken on my first visit to the area.

Shot on 2 rolls of high speed film. An exercise in being concise.
