For the most part, everything's pretty quiet, and I figured we'd do a little exploring tonight.

It's been a while since we've gone out in Tokyo and since lately I only really go out into the city at night.

I thought I would bring you guys along.

Today.

It's so green in here on camera, it doesn't look this green.

In real life, it's more of a It's more of a pale yellow.

Right now we are in Ueno, and this is the, um Yoko market at night without any people.

A long time since I've been out here tonight.

It's considerably cleaner than I remember and much, much quieter than I remember.

Usually there's at least some people walking through, but tonight it's just been me.

In the inebriated zombies I've always loved the U.

N.

O.

In a Miyoko area for everything that it has toe, explore and discover, find and do actually started my night in this area up on a rooftop that has a beautiful view of the train tracks when one of my favorite photos I've ever taken was taken up there, you know, I'm actually, I'm wondering what the park looks like.

And the pond looks like at night, especially on this camera.

So let's go check it out.

It's really nice out here at night.

I just can't believe that I could actually capture it all on this.

A seven s three is incredible.

You can see stars like you see that you can actually see stars up in the sky.

The other night I sat down by a river to shoot a video.

And when I was done, I realized that I could kind of see some stars.

But the camera could really see like this pond here, for example.

Right now this is what I see.

But the camera picks it up like this, which is just absolutely mind blowing is 1 31 in the morning.

And there's a guy with a leaf blower.

He's got a leaf blower at 1.

31 in the morning.

I don't know if I'm or excited or more grateful for how far technology has come.

Like even a year ago.

If I wanted to shoot a video this late at night, there is no way in the world it would have looked this good just wouldn't have been possible.

Even the video that I shot in a sucks a few weeks back where I just walked around with this camera just wouldn't have been possible.

This, uh, I know it's just a camera.

I'm probably far too excited, but it opens up the ability to show you things in in a way that I've never like.

Like Okay, one of my favorite spots has always been this bench right here, simply because let me show you because of this right here, the way these buildings and their light reflects off of the water.

When you're sitting on this bench, this just makes it one of the most beautiful places to just sit and relax SP, especially on a spring or summer's night and then just walking through here.

Especially because during the spring this entire area is cherry blossoms like I am already super excited about spring.

It is the end of January.

Right now, I've already got the cherry blossoms on the brain.

I can't wait.

Can't wait.

You know what?

Also come to think of it, Yes, it is quiet right now, but it's almost a little too quiet like where where is everybody?

I could understand if it was three or maybe four o'clock in the morning.

There was no people whatsoever.

But it's only like 1 30 in the morning at best right now, keeping in mind that we are in the middle of Tokyo right now.

So if it wasn't for the cars passing on this road right here, but almost be like I was the only one left like I remember when Pokemon go first came out, this entire area here was just flooded with people at two o'clock in the morning.

It's just so weird to think of it now.

And Ueno Park itself is right up those stairs.

So this absolutely no people around thing was kind of funny at first, but now it's actually starting to get a little bit creepy.

I'm usually I'm really happy to have no people around when I feel like we're taking it just a touch too far.

This time.

We just take just one second and appreciate how nice that looks.

Just alright but weird void of people aside, Are you starting to see what I mean about the wino area at night?

There's just something about the way the colors come together in this area and the mix of the city in the park and everything, I just I love it.

It is one of the many, many reasons why I've always said it becoming in Japan, especially Tokyo, that we know is a great place to stay because it opens up so much to see, do and explore a night, especially if you're jet lagged.

Like if you're jet lagged, this is the place to be at least the first couple nights in Tokyo.

Come, spend the minute.

We know it is very, very worth it.

So I have been in the park shooting pictures for probably the better part of 40 maybe 45 minutes.

Now, at least at least we're We're well past two o'clock in the morning.

Not a single I'm Where is everybody?

Every so often, I can hear somebody off in the distance, but just far enough that you can't actually see Yes, why is this like, Yeah.

Did the people evaporate?

This?

This is not making things any better.

We're getting out of the park whenever I do.

Q and A's on the channel, one of the most common questions I get is, Is Tokyo safe to explore at night?

Especially, for example, if you are a solo traveler and I don't want to give a resounding yes, Tokyo's definitely safe, despite it always feeling safer for me because I've said it a billion times before.

It doesn't matter where you go.

People are people, so there's always gonna be some form of risk.

So I would say, if it's an option, explore with somebody and maybe avoid some of the more narrow back streets like these.

Stick to the main streets.

Stick to the well that areas.

You're more likely to have police boxes there.

If you do run into the O is getting heavy.

Who you're more likely to have police boxes there if you do run into trouble convenience stores and everything that you could go into.

So I would say if you're a first time explore.

If you don't know the city or the language that well, stick to the main streets.

But again, it's always felt fairly safe to me, and it is It is late right now, but again, a lot of places in Japan, like like this park here, tend to be fairly well lit also so kind of kind of adds to.

And now that we're getting back into the city, there's there's more construction workers and I see people off in the distance.

So we now know officially that I am not the last man standing on Earth.

So that's a nod.

Comfort.

But speaking of Q and A's, it has been such a long time since we've done one that why don't we do another one?

I'll link a playlist of them at the end.

And if you don't find the answer to whatever question you have, drop it down below, and maybe you don't make it into the next video.

And honestly, for as much as I love this camera, this camera and this lens combo are incredibly, incredibly heavy.

This has been it's gonna work out, and I've still got, like, a 30 40 minute bike ride ahead of me tonight, so I am all right.
