Tokyo was once famous for its twelve-story brick "skyscraper" Ryōunkaku (凌雲閣) in Asakusa. The tower collapsed during the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake 100 years ago today.

One night out in Tokyo

As the last trains leave the central hubs of Shinjuku and Shibuya for the suburbs, much of the city heads home. However, Tokyo never sleeps.

I recently visited several small, abandoned settlements in the mountains of Urayama, a former village in Chichibu, Saitama Pref., to examine the remnants of communities and what led to their disappearance. Join me on my journey: japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/0…

Exploring the eerie beauty of Japan’s abandoned villages

Depopulation and an aging society have turned parts of the countryside into tourist attractions for those eager to explore a forgotten era.

A video from Jiji Press shows the main tourist areas of Kyoto in May 5, 2020 vs. April 29, 2023. Back in 2020 foreign tourists were banned from entering Japan, domestic tourism was discouraged, and many shops voluntarily closed. All of that is over now.

Last month I traveled around areas in Fukushima affected by the nuclear disaster 12 years ago. Wild animals have been thriving during the lack of human presence, likely expanding in both numbers and range. Here's what I learned about nature's resilience: japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/0… – at Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo
In the shadow of the Fukushima disaster, an unusual experiment in rewilding
