Only Shinjuku Golden Gai feels like old Japan from 30 or 40 years ago 🏮

Personally, there was a place where I felt only here the air was very different.

That is a place called Golden Gai in Shinjuku.

Only in Golden Gai, the streets are very narrow.

It feels like Japan from 30 or 40 years ago.

Even as a Japanese person, I did not know what kind of place it was, so I asked AI.

In Golden Gai, it seems many bars open at night.

It seems there are many drinking places.

But it seems some of them are members-only bars.

Not all of them are shops that normal customers can go into, like "I want to drink today, so let's go."

In World War II, Tokyo once became a burned field.

Then, many markets called "black markets" appeared.

It seems the area around Shinjuku Golden Gai is where one of those black markets grew.

Traces of that still remain, so the streets are very narrow, and the shops are packed together.

It has that kind of feeling.

I wondered if it is OK to walk here at night.

Maybe people from Tokyo can walk through.

But it feels like a place where you could easily get lost.

Shinjuku Golden Gai was very mysterious, and it was interesting to walk around.

It was daytime, so it was totally safe and fine, though.
