Tokyo Midtown Yaesu Citywalk (2) ๐
At the end of the Pacific War, Yaesu was severely burned down due to the air raids by the U.S. military. ๐ข๐ธ As a result, the reconstruction of Yaesu has been ongoing to this day. ๐ฟ๐Compared to the adjacent Marunouchi, the buildings here are more aged, and the area has a stronger business and industrial vibe. ๐๏ธ If you are a lover of urban landscapes, street photography, and architecture, this place is definitely your top choice for a city walk. Setting aside the subcultures of Shibuya and Harajuku, the bourgeois charm of Daikanyama and Ebisu, the high-end luxury of Ginza and Roppongi, and the strong Japanese style of Ueno and Asakusa, Yaesu is more pure and simple. ๐ข๐ธ The streets and buildings are clean and straightforward. ๐ As a central business district, there are no excessive shopping malls, gourmet food, or other complicated consumerist "dopamine" temptations here. ๐ฟ๐ Instead, you'll find minimalist architecture and hurried pedestrians. Mini alleys crisscross through this massive business district, and the whole area almost wears its "minimalism" on its face. ๐ข๐ธ It's perfect for solo wandering and urban street photography. ๐ธ #Yaesu #Japan #Tokyo #ChuoDistrict ๐
