Top 147 Japan Street Photography Shots That Capture The Rarely Seen Side Of The Land Of The Rising Sun
Few places in the world are as alluring as Japan when it comes to street photography. The neon alleyways of Tokyo, Osaka, and other major cities provide perfect opportunities for evocative night photography, while the bustling trains and intersections offer an infinite source of inspiration for those looking for some snaps in the daylight hours.
In homage to the country's reputation as a street photographer's paradise, Bored Panda has compiled this list containing some of the best street snaps we could find. In it you'll see work from reputed street photographers such as Masashi Wakui and Takeshi Yasui, as well as many others. If you've never been to Japan then these pictures will make you want to go. And if you have been before then they'll make you want to go again. Just don't forget your camera!

I've been living in Japan for the last 10 years and narrow roads and shops and homes still stun me, particularly in hot spring towns.

She most likely worked hard her entire life in a position that required her to slightly hunched...That work, and everything that comes with it, took a huge toll on her body. I hope her family is caring for her and giving her the love and respect I'm sure she deserves.

I've been there: Shibuya crossing, spectacular at night time - like Picadilly Circus on speed! It's often seen in movies too or documentaries where they want to show somewhere busy.

Doesn't look Japan at all.. kanji is not Japanese ones and Hirakana spelling has mistake, red plastic chairs doesn't seem Japanese style.. well if photographer says it's in Japan it must be somewhere very different.

his was shot in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. The buddhist monks are praying for the world peace and for the souls of the victims of the A-Bomb. If you have an opportunity, visit this park and the Peace Memorial Museum. That migh change your perspective of the world peace and the use of nuclear weapons.

Quite a struggle, judging from her look. Hope she gets where she's heading for safely.

My heart plunged just by seeing her so gnarled at such old age. Life must have become too much for her...

Nah it gives it mystery to not have descriptions... sometimes it's more distracting... especially when they are wrong
