Yakitori Alley in Shinjuku Tokyo

Posted September 28th, 2009 in My Work, People, Street Photography, Travel

Yakitori Alley, also known as Omoide Yokocho, or as the locals delightfully call it “Shonben Yokocho” is one of those hidden treasures that you accidently stumble upon.  It’s what you expect when you go to Japan, small eateries in tiny alleys.  Yakitori Alley, is just that, a winding alley filled with small yakitori stalls, where most can only accomodate about 5 to 6 people at most.  There are other Yakitori streets in Tokyo and most are clustered near major train stations, but this one is tucked away in Tokyo’s busy Shinjuku district, a district of bars, electronic shops, massive department stores and the luxury Park Hyatt (the hotel featured in the movie “Lost in Translation”).   What a great find!
