Message from Michael Chlebek

This charming spot in Shinjuku's vibrant Korea Town is one of my personal favorites. Jinsei Sakaba Okubo lights up beautifully after sunset, with glowing lanterns and cozy vibes. Every time I pass by, I stop for a moment to enjoy its warm, inviting atmosphere—especially magical during rainy evenings when the reflections add an extra touch of beauty. It's a perfect blend of tradition and modern aesthetics, making it an ideal spot for atmospheric photography and an enjoyable night out.

Best Time to Photograph:
After dark, ideally just after rain, to capture those fantastic reflections and warm glowing lights.
