Good morning from Japan! A set of images from Koenji in Tokyo, capturing some quirky details from this interesting area.

I will be traveling in Europe during the next two weeks, but will likely post occasional updates. 🛫

Tokyo’s “coolest” neighborhood is subjective and constantly shifting, as the city’s appeal lies in its diversity of areas, each offering a unique mix of trends, culture and hidden gems. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/03/is-there-coolest-neighborhood-in-tokyo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #jimbocho #shimokitazawa #koenji #kichijoji #daikanyama #nakameguro #roppongi #odaiba #toyosu #ueno #nishishinjuku #shibuya #yoyogikoen #daikanyama #aoyama #omotesando #ebisu #tokyo #harajuku

Extreme heat could not dissuade throngs of crowds and performers from the annual Koenji Awa Odori, a massive celebration of grace, joy and foolishness. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/08/28/koenji-awa-odori/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #awaodori #koenji #dance

Happy Monday from Japan!

On a backstreet in Koenji, Tokyo, even the narrowest of spaces is put to good use in order to hang the day's laundry out to dry.

“You’re always told, ‘Oh, you’ll never be accepted in Japan because you're a foreigner,’” says Gregorio Narvasa, owner of Koenji’s newest American cookie shop. “I’ve been accepted in a community and found a real connection to this place.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2024/07/07/our-lives/monsta-sweets-koenji-cookies/ #community #ourlives #cookies #tokyo #koenji

Four shots from Kōenji (高円寺) in western Tokyo. A very interesting area to walk around and discover novel shops and unique eateries.

All photos shot with Mamiya 6 and 50mm f/4 lens on Kodak Portra 400 medium-format film.

While the COVID-19 pandemic put a temporary pause to one of Tokyo’s biggest festivals, its dancers never stopped practicing their steps. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2023/08/26/tokyo-festivals-koenji-awa-odori/?utm_content=buffer4f31f&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #culture #festivals #tokyo #koenji
