A quick walk along Shiki no Michi in Shinjuku, a tram line closed in 1970 and reopened in 1974 as a tree-lined path. It leads straight into Golden Gai, Tokyo’s old black market turned bar district.

Ahoy mateys from Shiki no Michi. This used to be a tram line until nineteen seventy where we’re standing, and there was a depot at the end. And then in nineteen seventy-four, they converted it into a, walking path with lots of trees and stuff like that. So it’s an urban oasis. And, it leads out into Golden Gai, which is the former old, smuggler’s dens, I think, black market district. And now it’s got these really cool bars. But that’ll be, another video maybe tomorrow if if you’re lucky. And, yeah, it’s a nice Sunday evening here. I finally got found a place to sprint, so I’m really happy about that, and get my exercise in. And, yeah, this little path is just a nice little jungle in the middle of Tokyo, of an urban jungle. Have a good evening, guys. See ya. Peace out.
