Stunning Photos Capture Tokyo Nightscape

Photography Nightlife Tokyo Shinjuku Shibuya Shinagawa

In striking contrast is the area at the front of Shibuya Station, pictured here in a calm moment just before hundreds of pedestrians spill out to cross the busy intersection.

Known as the world’s busiest intersection, it’s said that 500,000 people use the scramble crossing at Shibuya each day.

Above the crowds of people, the lights and billboards of Tokyo are an ever-present part of the nightlife that makes the city so beautiful and unique.

Imbued with the beauty of a warm pink glow, these atmospheric city scenes express everything we love about Tokyo, with its busy, crowded narrow streets filled with noise and life, yet also filled with a warmth and calmness that comes from the polite, ordered, gentle nature of its citizens.

If these photos have inspired you to pack a bag and buy a one-way ticket to Tokyo, you might want to check out more of Xavier’s photos on Instagram, or visit his website, where there are more stunning destinations to inspire you to travel!
