This view feels like a secret. Tucked away in a random supermarket, there's a small stairwell that leads to this awesome view over one of Akihabara’s busiest intersections. You’ve got the train above, glowing signs everywhere, and people rushing across the crosswalk below—it’s like watching Tokyo in fast-forward. I wasn’t sure if I was even allowed up there, so I just took a few quick shots and slipped back down. Totally worth it.

Best Time to Photograph:
Evening blue hour is the sweet spot. The city lights are on, the sky still has a bit of color, and the whole scene comes alive. You might need to boost your ISO a bit since you probably won’t have time for a tripod up there, but the view is 100% worth the hustle.
