K3 DA21, this alley used to be packed with people before the pandemic. Most stores are closed in compliance to the state of emergency when I was there 3 weeks ago.

That is so disconcertingly stranger and beautiful all at once. Great image.

Here's an xpost of a typical MT highway.

I love these empty streets that only seem to go to the horizon. You've captured that lovely.

it is a beverage company here, Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd.
fun fact:
1889: Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. was founded. (A company logo in the lantern)
1919: Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō G.K. was founded (It has nothing to do with Asahi Group Holdings mentioned above)
1938: Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō G.K. becoming Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō K.K. or Asahi Optical Co. (The original Pentax parent company)
1940: Omoide Yokocho (the alley and surrounding area in the photo) started out as a black market after World War II

If that is called Sunset Road, I wonder why? Great image, Paul!

That's lovely, as I've said in another thread: Tokyo seems very photogenic, but at night even more so.
