This is the second part of the Midnight Shooting: Roppongi to Shibuya blog entry.

We started our walk around 1:00AM from Roppongi, and reached Shibuya at nearly 3:00AM. Below are images that you will likely be seeing in an early Saturday morning in Shibuya.

This guy welcome us right at the foot of the pedestrian bridge near the south entrance of Shibuya Station.

Outside the station, you can see a lot of people sleeping. Either they lay down on the pavement..

… or simply just sit down…

They sure had fun last night, eh?

Obviously, these people are waiting for the station to open, and catch the first train.

And finally, the gate has opened. Ohayou, Shibuya!

The next post will be about homeless people staying near Shibuya station.

Thanks for watching. :-)

Summer in Japan always starts with rainy days. Because it is also the season when the Japanese apricot (ume) ripens, the Japanese call it “tsuyu” (or “baiyu”) which literally means “plum rain”.

The rainy season usually begins in early June and ends in mid July.

This year, it has started a week early. It’s been raining since yesterday.

This is the season when it gets humid.

… and the days are gray and gloomy.

Umbrellas are everywhere.

Welcome to Japan’s rainy season.
