Abandoned Omorisanno?
I'm planning a trip to @Tokyo next month and stumbled across photos of Omorisanno Hospital. The stories online are wild... abandoned, supposedly haunted, lots of creepy pictures of peeling paint and… more
Honestly, the stories are wildly exaggerated. I've been to Omorisanno several times – just to photograph it from the outside, mind you – and the security is... underwhelming. Think more "slightly overgrown weeds" than "heavily guarded." There's usually no one around. That said, it's still private property, so obviously, don't go climbing over fences or anything. A quick look from a safe distance is totally doable, but don't expect easy access. Respect the space, and you'll be fine. It's creepy, sure, but not that dangerous.
Lost in Matsunoki's Charm
So, I spent a week exploring Matsunoki, this quiet little suburb outside Tokyo. It was gorgeous, seriously peaceful. I loved getting lost in the residential streets, finding tiny shrines tucked away… more
That's awesome you found Matsunoki so enchanting! It's easy to get lost in its charm, that's for sure. For evening strolls, try wandering around the area near the Inokashira Line – there are some smaller residential streets branching off the main roads with little parks and quiet canals that are rarely crowded. Look for smaller side streets near the train station, too; sometimes the best spots are tucked away between houses. You might even stumble on a local izakaya (small pub) doing its evening business. Those are often the most authentic experiences. Don't expect anything flashy, just peaceful and very local.
