Late Night Walk in Tokyo Harajuku | Fashion Capital at 2AM
Have you watched Alice in Borderland on Netflix? In it, there is a scene of Tokyo city where there is no one but the main characters. After watching that drama, I wanted to walk around Tokyo late at night. The place was Harajuku, known as a fashion city, and the time was 2AM.
I thought that just walking around might be boring for a video, so I added a little kinda guide to Harajuku and my memories. The content is totally different from my previous videos, but I hope you enjoy.
It's night so of course all the shops are closed, but some of them "closed down" due to the pandemic. Still, the culture won't die.

One of the main reasons why some parts is dead is because the transport eg. Trains stop running at 11pm or 12am till 5am I think. They do it to repair and check all the train lines to see if there’s any cracks etc. japan really goes above and beyond to make sure that the Japanese people are safe.
as an introvert who likes exploring places alone especially at night, I find this very comforting 😁
My hairs were on end the whole video, if I did this in my country, I'd already be missing my wallet, clothes and half my organs. It was a mesmerizing walk, though.

I have felt fairly safe walking in my area of Edmonton, Alberta between 3:00AM and 7:00AM. Most of the homeless people are hibernating at that time. But now with more homeless people since CoVid hit, one had to be very mindful of their actions when out between the times I mentioned above.

Silence, graffiti, lights and a chill walk is definitely a vibe bro
Man! It's literally 2 A.M. and I am watching Walking Harajaku at 2 A.M! Nice and now I am addicted to the aesthetic of this channel.
I feel the same. I've always adored the midnight atmosphere.
Of course there's a shrine. How are you supposed to save your game without a shrine.

Watched Borderland few months ago and fell in love with all the characters. Japan, especially cities like Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, are perfect for filming apocalyptic movies. Love your little tour. Please keep more like this coming. Thank you.
Late night walks are amazing. Love that I get to see Tokyo at this time of night - it’s so wonderfully eerie how empty it is.
I was really impressed about Alice in Borderland... The first thought that came my mind was how was possible to find Tokyo so empty in order to shoot their scenes! Looking forward for the next season! Thank you for this lovely video 🙏

Enjoyed the walk through Harajuku in the dark. The shrine was a real find! Your calm worldview brings a smile to my day.
Free Harajuku tour at night since it is pandemic. Thank you!
oh this is so cool!! it has been ages since i saw takeshita dori... looks like its under a lot of construction which makes sense given less tourists rn. that park and shrine in the middle of harajuku was incredible. It looked relatively new.. bet its crazy on new years. thanks as always for posting, this was different but great; you always make everything in your videos seem so magical💕
waiting for season 2! this one's like an intimate walk.. it's nice
Thank you so much for the experience!! I was a lil bit scared at the beginning but as you kept walking i got really exited, i know there was really nothing obviously flashy to see (except for the shrine) but i really enjoyed it 😊
I currently live in Tokyo.. so I don't know why I'm watching this though I'm delivering newspaper at 2AM everyday.. hahahahahaha
I’m so worried you are going to bump into some spirits.
Totally awesome video...loved it! Mushroom crepes--I'm hungering for em now. I'm very sure you should be doing movies but, only if you keep creative control! Many thanks!!
늘 하라쥬쿠를 가면 메이지신궁 들렀다가 하라쥬쿠 다케시타거리에서 구경하고 백엔샵에서 물건사고 크레페 꼭 먹고 요요기공원까지 가는게 코스였었는데, 새벽의 하라쥬쿠는 완전히 다르네요 ^^...아직도 크레페 가게가 많다니..서울은 많은 크레페 전문점들이 다 사라졌습니다. 유행이 생명을 다해서...서울의 대학로에 크레페전문점만 열곳 가가이 있었는데...흔적도 없이 사라졌슴 ㅎ ㅎ ㅎ .오늘도 잘 봤습니다.
Very tranquil, that shrine looks very interesting
I half expected zombies to jump at you any moment... Truly a picturesque quality to this video in a way that only exists in films. Abandoned streets lit with nightlight, the ongoing slow and steady journey.
i wish to roam the streets of japan like this too someday. thank you for the video!!!

omgosh, thank you for taking a video of takeshita dori. i used to live quite close to there, maybe 5 min walking distance and would walk through here at night all of the time. my favorite mexican place in tokyo is in the side streets (chiles mexican grill) and the punk rock store that has signs cursing at foreigners to eff off. hahahaha.
This video was so fascinating and peaceful at the same time. You showed me things that I would not have seen otherwise.
Just by looking at this video gives me chill. No one around and silent as heck. I surely dun wanna take a walk in such a quiet place.
I love the cleanliness of Japan 😍

You said the trash will be picked up and lo and behold it was being picked up when you came back from the shrine. Everything happens like clockwork in Japan. Something unique about that country. Amazing.

It looks very different from daytime before... Haha strolling at night will make you seem suspicious but it's nice to see this street without lots of people.
This is very aesthetic and calming... Could please create more videos like this? Thank you ❣️
I think is great for a morning person walking on the street with a cub of coffee while listen to music or something else
I felt like walking inside one of my dreams , eerie but beautiful , the city at night , there is something attractive about it
definitely getting alice in borderland vibes from this, such a cool vibe and atmosphere.
I wish I could walk like this!
tokyo always fills up all my cyberpunk aesthetic needs
this is a masterpiece.
7:37 Thanks to the light. But if you stand in front of this building relying on the light from your cell phone. Can you imagine how scary it is
I really like this type of VIDEOS, it's so relaxing and peaceful .
4:45 "...who the @$#% come to a convenience store in the middle of Takeshita Street at 2 AM?" Someone making a youtube video about a late night walk in Tokyo Harajuku, maybe? ha ha I'm more of an Akihabara guy but this is a very interesting video. Also kinda scary.
Thank you for this. I couldn’t sleep and came across this video, its really soothing and I can calm myself before going to sleep. Great video!
it's sad that as a woman, I wouldn't feel safe walking around alone like this at night. I feel like I'm missing out.

Fuck. this actually reopened some of my memories when i was a kid. i miss the good old times. edit: thanks for the tour man, im glad nothing harmed you during these late nights
I feel emotional watching this, I don't know why.......
the fact that i watch this on 2 AM really a coincidence
Its like watching a video game side quest play through
This is like a heaven of walking alone and shoot a video (at least for me). Thanks for making this video :D
Its even cooler when you've been to Harajuku before, I visited Japan In 2020 (April just before the Covid shutdown) And I miss It so much! This gives me comfort to be like 'Oh yeah, there's the Hoshino Coffee like always' or 'Omg that shoe shop Is still there'
Ah your video is making me nostalgic. I visited 5 years ago and I miss Tokyo I miss Japan very much especially Harajuku. I hope the corona virus will be contained soon so I can come back.
this is so calming. your video helps me to get through the day. thank you!
Watch the video with the lights turned off. It's a surreal experience. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO FAM. I will visit Japan someday for sure!

I always wanted to walk alone, in my city at 2 or 3am. This gave me 1st hand experience. Loved it
Thank you! That was one of best videos I've seen. It reminds me William Gibson's novel "Idoru". Love that atmosphere and surprised by that shire. Great place. Hopefully will visit Japan one day.
When i was thinking positively, it doesn't scary at all. But at some point, it does lmao
You really managed to capture the "alice in borderland" enviroment! I just found your videos and i can't stop watching!!!!! It's such an eerie feeling to see this enviroment like this, it's almost surreal, to think that you have the opportunity to just strole there as you want whenever you want is so cool! For me it is so distant and i would really love to do it some day!! This reminds me of Resident Evil - Raccoon City game as well! Just lovely!!!
man this video is such a mood
I watched this at 2x speed & it seemed like I was walking around a neighborhood in a video game... especially with the walking feet sounds.
While I was living in Japan I was making such midnight walks all the time.
So hauntingly beautiful
Really gives off the Alice in Borderland vibe! Thank you for this wonderful video ❤️ I really like it!!
Ahhh, this is the type of vlog I've been looking for! Someone that doesn't say anything, but adds little tidbits of their thoughts at the moment in the subtitles! I find it very charming, I'll definitely check up some of your other stuff!
wow omg this really did remind me so much of the scene from alice in borderland. tokyo looks so different when its deserted like that! looks very calm for sure
Japan is such a beautiful place!
