        The screencap is from Jingumae 6 Chome, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo. If you were to walk down that alley and then turn right when you get onto the main street, you'd be near the southern entrances to Meiji Jingumae Station on the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line. How about we take a walk?

        Instead of going to Meiji Jingumae (after all, no street view in that alley), let's turn around and head towards Shibuya Station. Turning left from the initial picture, we can see down the road--someone has obscured the view with their parked car...pic.twitter.com/E0H8USziut

        ...but that's ok, because that's not the direction for Shibuya anyway. Turning left again, and now we're looking down the street in the opposite direction of the initial alley--single family houses, only two stories high, right here in the heart of the city! Off we go...pic.twitter.com/fYkKXmFjvP

        Walking along, the street gets a bit narrower--nice bamboo fence and plantings, makes the entire street feel more relaxed. Looks like some construction ahead?pic.twitter.com/sAABmNpNzG

        A little further on, fruit growing on one side and flowers on the other. Much more pleasant complement to cityscape than yards and lawns, imopic.twitter.com/bp0u9K0opU

        Coming out onto a slightly wider street--the construction signage makes sense now; it's a vacant lot pending new development. Some older street view photos indicate there used to be, surprise surprise, another single family house on that lot.pic.twitter.com/iNLjTNsth0

        Turning right at that next intersection, we find ourselves on what looks like a posh shopping street--the extra effort they put into paving here suggests a lot of customer foot trafficpic.twitter.com/M3tUtqKajx

        Glancing left, down the cross street--still very narrow by US standards, but they clearly expect heavier car traffic on this one, as there are designated sidewalks now. Notice the sidewalks are level with the street, instead of raised above itpic.twitter.com/y0zMr3MF2J

        After turning right, we find ourselves on a street which is too narrow for real sidewalks, but which clearly distinguishes between where moving cars should be expected and where you can stand to let them go by. When no cars are around, ofc, you can walk anywhere.pic.twitter.com/VZ4HKBFlBp

        Some *very* narrow commercial properties here--I like this about Japan, that they opt for density via small footprints before going for density via tall buildings (not that they're the only country that does this, ofc).pic.twitter.com/tjGDtYKnEy

        Apartment building on the left--can't be more than 4 stories high. Taller one visible in the distance, maybe 12 or 15 high. Gorgeous greenery here, all accomplished without wasting space on lawns.pic.twitter.com/ql7dr9EY8H

        We climb a little bit of the way up this hill--notice the red tarmac on the roads to remind drivers of the slope, and the level sidewalks marked by fencing rather than raised on curbs--before turning again, this time to the rightpic.twitter.com/mE6HisaDHo

        Only a short walk on this street before we turn left--large construction site dead-ahead, and the Yamanote Line viaduct is visible. From here, street view won't be quite as useful, as it will be from a car's perspective rather than a pedestrian's perspective 😒pic.twitter.com/gJ4T1r41cp

        ...see what I mean? The middle of the road is not the best place to be on a street this wide...you can't get a good feel for what walking on the sidewalks is like either. Regardless: station dead ahead, lots of construction going onpic.twitter.com/exuA7YGd4o

        And here we are--Shibuya Station itself, the fourth-busiest train station in Japan (and the world). The plaza is in the middle of reconstruction, and isn't much to look at right now...the old Tokyu terminal was moved underground, and new development is going up in its place.pic.twitter.com/pvPV5RqTvt

        Our walk covered a distance of 3,660 feet, not even a mile. 15 minutes, at a leisurely pace. And yet in such a small distance--so much variation in landscape! From tiny, quiet streets flanked by houses, gardens, and shops, to towers, traffic, and construction.
