Shomben Yokocho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan.

Squashed up against the train tracks lie 4-blocks of narrow, red lantern-lit alleyways known as Shomben Yokocho. The name translates as "piss alley".

As you can see in this photo, it consists mainly of small yakitori restaurants and cramped bars.

Another shot from here:

I like the cramped feel of those alleyways. Even such a small area of space is so lively

it might be small, narrow and cramped, but it has a great sense of place. usually places like this are very friendly despite their reputation

I like streets in Japan. They look so different from streets here. Even though there are a load more people, they seem more open somehow... Does that make any sense?

Personally I think this place is more claustrophobic than open ;-)
The streets in places like Ginza feel quite open though.
