Tokyo trip to see what it looks like now where the photos were taken 50 years ago
Long time no see folks. Happy new year.
One day, while browsing the official website of Tokyo's Minato Ward, I found that they publish their old photos taken in Minato Ward which are copyright-free.
I was immediately fascinated by those old photos. And I thought it would be interesting to make a video of actually going to the places where those photos were taken and taking photos in 2022 to compare. Like before and after.
In Chapter 2, I went on a journey to see the now of the places where photos of Tokyo were taken in 1970 by a mysterious foreigner.
It was like time travel for me and I really enjoyed it. I hope you all enjoy it too.
This was the toughest edit work I have done. So see you again in 2024...
Minato Ward old photos: opendata.city....
Tokyo in 1970: commons.wikime...
I have also made some of my photos copyright-free and published (the other photos I took have the faces of passersby, so I have not yet decided what to do with them).

14: 35.66051757135998, 139.70088097880182
It occurred to me as I was writing this that it's a bit crazy that "half a century ago" is the 70s...

Thanks for the video, this is amazing work (I cannot imagine the time it took to reach such incredible findings and images) And as for many of the comments, I was feeling so nostalgic for no reason as I am from Belgium. I have visited Japan 3 times already (I hope many future visits as well ! ) and some of the images of Shibuya reminded me of streets I have been. Same comment for Ebisu as I have visited twice the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum which is one of the best photography museum I have seen ! Looking forward for the next one :)

What a cool idea for a video, well done! Think the places in the 50s looked very different but it’s striking how many similarities there were between 1970s photos and now.
Finally uve returned back.. we were also feeling nostalgia just listen first sounds of intro music.. this video is incredible how detailed and precise u were 👏👏
YESSSSSHHHHHH!! AN UPLOAD!😍
Very stylish video and interesting investigation! It's a little sad to see old cityscapes replaced by modern ones, but I'm sure living in those wooden post-war buildings was not very fun for the people.
So happy about the new video and I love this type of thing - to find and compare how some places changed.
Gorgeous video 🙌
Welcome Back!
Love the video! It must have taken a lot of time and patience to find the locations!
👏👏👏 Congratulations!! 🥰 Spectacular as always. You really take pride in your work. NOSTALGIA ❣️ Looking back is beautiful and moving forward is challenging but amazing. Looking forward to more great photos and videos. It's the year of the Rabbit and wishing you happiness and great adventures.🙏
So good to see you back again! Wasn't notified of the video for some reason. Need more Sorekara videos in my life. Look forward to the next one. Hope all is well with you.

Very cool
Hi, have been following your channel from quite some time now because of which Tokyo was always on my bucket list. Finally got the opportunity to visit Tokyo last week. And you're right, its a truly magical City! Walking down its winding streets and parks made me feel like I'm in the middle of a Haruki Murakami novel! 😍
Amazing content, Ryo. Will inspire future Tokyo visitors to include in their itinerary. Happy Lunar New Year!
What an excellent concept for a video!
This was lovely. Made me nostalgic for the Japan of old, and I'm not even Japanese. Haha. This also seemed like a small glimpse of the curiosity you have, and the way your mind works. Interesting to watch. Shots were lovely too. Keep doing what you're doing!
Really happy to see you uploading. I love your channel, you have an incredible talent!Cheers from Italy! I hope to visit Japan someday.
This is lovely. Very nicely put together.
you're back!
This was so fascinating to watch! Particularly when the locations weren't specified and you had to do detective work 🤓 I felt the excitement and curiosity too! I hope the foreigner who uploaded can still watch this 🤩
Omg youre back! Thank you for this cinematic masterpiece
beautiful.
I changed jobs about a year and a half ago and haven't had as much time to just chill with your videos on another screen. My last job afforded me all kinds of time like that. In turn, you have also started uploading a little less. So it looks like we're in sync, you and I. We've both been busier than usual.
Hi. Happy New Year! It's good to see you again. It's really nice contents compared with old Japan seneces and current Japan's. Also, your vlog recording skills are improved much. Have a good weekend!

your videos makes me feel relaxed
awesome effort!! it will not go to waste.... thank you so much. by the way i loved your crushed black look and handheld video style ...
This is so cool! What I liked is that there is video and sound today, as opposed to a still image in the past. Its not too different from the perspective of folks who photographed these places in the past, but this time you captured what the environment was like on that day, just a little bit more. Maybe 50 years from now someone or multiple people may look back at your video, and capture and compare changes over the years. Peace out.
A great video, and I enjoyed seeing how Tokyo has changed over the years. I have been to Tokyo myself a few times and I also enjoy watching Ozu Yasujirō movies and like to compare the places in his movies and compare them to how they look today.
I am in Tokyo now. Thank you for this.

This is such a detailed video and i love it! Nice to see the old japan . it stays beautiful as it was half a century ago😆
Your video is always good~ I am happy you are back~
really enjoyed this thank you
Yay! So excited and happy to see a new video! Every video has been a piece of encouragement and inspiration. Thank you for sharing not just what you see, but also sharing how you grow bit by bit in the process of creating. And also thank you for giving people a new way to learn and interact with a different part of the world.
I hope you upload more vids. You have good content :)
Great video as always! History and our surroundings are always bound to change through innovation and modernizing. Can't wait to see your next video! Also I picked up my first two books by Haruki Murakami, I think they were apart of your old video on book recommendations.
Greeaaaat, nice to see you again! How are you?

Fantastic work Sorekara. This is a very good index of the prosperous growth Japan witnessed in those decades from 60s to 90s. Unfortunately due to demographic issues in Japan , next 30 years will witness huge all round decline in Japan Hope something is done to revive this wonderful land and not let it fade away Humanity has just one Japan.
YOOO! You totally leveled up your editing skills didn't ya? :D great video as always!

Happy new year! This was really lovely to see, its always sad when beautiful old buildings have been torn down but its wonderful that theres pictures of them to discover and its fun to see what has stayed the same :) great video as always
Your videos are just piece of art.. فيدوهاتك جملية جدًا.. It is an Arabic language I have said: your videos are extremely beautiful.. ^^ thank you. have a good day.
happy happy new year.... gong xi fa cai. we missed you sir. thanks for this
These photos showcase how much effort Japan has put in to get the country to where it is today. Incredible.
I like to take comparison photos too but from anime LOL. Still interesting though because while central Tokyo changes rapidly some of the outer areas have changed very little like Mizuho. Areas like parks shown in Clannad anime are still there unchanged. The anime was released in 2007.
finally you'r back.
Happy new year. Please keep making these videos. I love them. From Manchester, UK .
