A bright red wooden lantern in focus in front of the shrine and its guard animals out of focus.

#Zuijinmon at #AnaHachimangu #Shrine in #Shinjuku ward #Tokyo #Japan #日本 #東京 #新宿区 #穴八幡宮 #隋神門

A two-storey gate, wood painted bright red. The design is two display cubes to the left and right of the entrance respectively. I didn't check to see which scary sculptures are hidden within. The cubes are boarded up like a cage and this picture was taken from too far away to zoom in. There is a couple standing right inside the entrance, actually just behind the gate. On top of this ground level is another one with a balcony going all the way around. It's topped with a pointy and tiled roof in dark gray. There are trees around it and a couple obscure the edges of the gate. The weather is overcast.

At #Hōjōji #Temple in #Shinjuku ward #Tokyo #Japan #日本 #東京 #新宿区 #放生寺

A row of red wooden lanterns in front of manicured hedges on the temple grounds along a tilted road.

A large Shinto shrine, wooden, beams and highlights in red and white, turquoise tiled roof, everything sitting on a foundation three steps up from the ground. There are trees and residential buildings in the background.

The #bell at #Shōjuin in #Shinjuku ward #Tokyo #Japan #日本 #東京 #新宿区 #正受院 #梵鐘

Positioned to the side of the temple and at the end of a parking lot. There is a car parked to the right of it. To the left and in the back are multi-storey residential buildings, headstones from the adjacent cemetery, and trees. The sky is bright, yet a bit overcast. The bell hangs on a typical open gazebo structure made from wood with a pointed tiled roof. The whole structure sits atop a masonry foundation with stairs leading up the front.

The shrine is located on the edge of a steep hill, space in front of it is scarce, so this was shot with a wide angle lens pointed slightly upwards. So it misses the bottom section and makes the arched roof look bigger than in reality. It's a medium-sized shrine built with wood timber-framed. The frames are red, the cages l canvases white.

#Chōzenji, a Buddhist temple living on the edge. #Japan #Tokyo #Shinjuku #長善寺 #日本 #東京 #新宿区

I took this picture over a big fence shielding off the construction site in the foreground. It's more of a hole at this point with its greatest feature, a big crane on the left, so big it didn't fit entirely into the picture. Where the site ends comes a sizable jump in elevation laying bare the foundations of the buildings on higher ground. There are larger buildings to the left and to the right dwarfing at the center the old temple, right on the edge. Because the angle is up there is lots of sightly overcast sky in the shot with the sun shining in my direction. It creates interesting light.

The other angle. #Shinjuku #Tokyo #Japan #日本 #東京 #新宿区

Picture taken from atop a pedestrian bridge going over this major road that is lined with office buildings, then goes under the railway bridge just next to Shinjuku station and then beyond on Yasukuni-dori (road). It's afternoon on an overcast day, traffic is surprisingly light, and I've naturally waited for a train to be crossing the bridge. In the background especially are buildings with lit up ads and such.

#Shinjuku #Tokyo #Japan #日本 #東京 #新宿区

A wide shot of the intersection between Shinjuku station and Seibu-Shinjuku station with the skyscraper district in the background. Cutting through from right to left is the elevated train tracks with a JR train crossing. The scene is shot against the sun.

#SobuLine train at #Okubo station in #Shinjuku ward #Tokyo #Japan #TrainPorn #電車オタク #日本 #東京 #新宿区 #大久保駅 #総武線

Portrait shot of a road and the railway bridge over it. A JR commuter train, silver with bright yellow livery, is passing over it so a small section of that train made the shot. The bridge is made of massive concrete pillars and a steel truss put on top, painted turquoise. The name of the station is written on the side as well as a height restriction warning for the traffic underneath. The road is wet with rain. There are plenty of white markings on the road including one for a bus stop. Through the opening of the bridge we can see a bit of the shopping street that extends from the bridge.

Pagoda at #Tōchōji in #Shinjuku ward #Tokyo #Japan #東長寺 #日本 #東京 #新宿区

At the center of the shot stands a two-tiered pagoda behind a hedge that's obscuring most of the lower level. It's rectangular, built from a wooden structure. It's white with brown timber frames. The undersides of the roofs are in a similar color. At the top is a turquoise spire giving it some mohre height. It stands against the backdrop of a 1980s apartment block tiled in orange and a blue sky with a wisp of clouds.

#MasumiInari Shrine in #Shinjuku ward #Tokyo #Japan from the back #日本 #東京 #新宿区 #桝箕稲荷神社

A small wooden shrine painted white with red timber frames behind a neighborhood notice board, a low brick wall, and a utility pole. There is also a parabolic traffic mirror and a fire cistern sign in the mix. The whole scene is in near golden-hour sun on a slightly overcast day.

Golden Gai Delivery

Alley at the border of the Golden Gai district of Shinjuku by night. A man walks away holding an umbrella while another pulls a package from a cart used to make deliveries.
