So I’m trying to revive both my Twitter and YouTube. Both platforms I’m trying to get my head around. Check out this interview I did with @Tokyo_Weekender a few months ago! #tokyo #tokyosuburbia

@David_Leheny I quite like that park - great for locals, but perhaps not a go to for casual visitors, apart from geeks like me who enjoy exploring areas.

I’ve started to make longer YouTube videos of the areas I explore. Each video will be around 10 minutes or more. No music just the ambient street sounds. Completely new to all of this, so it’s trial and error. Like how I did my first video in portrait mode 🤦‍♀️

If you like relatively long ASMR videos of Tokyo street scenes than do check out my YouTube channel! #asmr #tokyo #tokyosuburbia #japantravel

@AlfieJapanorama Really love this show! Fascinating. There’s also another one about more local museums, can’t remember the name off-hand, but it really is very good. Especially the Welsh slate mine one.

[Suburban Tokyo @TokyoSuburban]

I’m also considering doing longer videos of the places I visit. Say 5 minutes of ASMR street scenes. No music, just the natural Tokyo melody. I’ll put them on my soon-to-be created YouTube channel. Yay or nay?

I’m coming to the end of my setagaya line journey. A few more stations and then I’ll have finished my first line. This particular area has a rather interesting link to the formation of modern Japan.

A fantastic insight into what a prestigious part of Tokyo used to be like.

[Suburban Tokyo @TokyoSuburban]

I really appreciate all the gratitude I’ve been shown. It’s really humbling to know that I provide for a small moment a slice of positivity. So if you like what I do, and wish me to keep going, then I would really appreciate a donation.

@lukeywhitey Thank you!

[Suburban Tokyo @TokyoSuburban]

Firstly apologies for not tweeting nearly as much as the Twitter gods require. I know you should post regularly, but I don’t particularly want to just post for the sake of it. I want to write when I feel it’s meaningful to do it and when I have time too. My first 🧵

[Suburban Tokyo @TokyoSuburban]

@bangtipen I saw signs for that! And have seen it in passing too. Definitely something I’ll have a look at when I’m in the area next.

[Suburban Tokyo @TokyoSuburban]

Other highlights include the ‘lost in translation’ hotel, and enough places to feel that cliche term of juxtaposition. Let me know your thoughts about the area! And thank you for reading this far.

Right near the station is the shinjuku Central Park, a rather nice and rather large green lung in the jungle that is shinjuku. Overlooking this is also the Tokyo metropolitan office building, which seems to have been lifted straight from the pages of a ‘brave new world’

[Suburban Tokyo @TokyoSuburban]

Looking at my first ever station feels like looking long into the past. After a lovely Saturday I wanted to document my travels in Tokyo. That morphed into attempting to visit every station/area in Tokyo.
