I Explored The Night Alleys Of Tokyo Under Neon Lights, And Here Are 30 Images That I Took
I’m Davide Sasso and this is my "Tokyo Dream Distance" photographic project, a collection of photos that I took in Japan.
During this trip I didn’t have a tour guide or a local expert, I already knew some places, many others I didn’t. This was a conscious decision because I wanted to experience Japan from scratch, even if it meant losing myself in the many alleys of Tokyo. This also led me to photograph and see places that are not so touristy, if I could go back I would make this choice again.
This journey has been the most beautiful of my life so far and I can’t wait to go back to Japan. I would certainly like to come back to Tokyo again, there is still a lot to see, the city is really endless, but I’d also like to see places outside of Tokyo, like Osaka and Kyoto. So thank you Japan, until the day we meet again!

I like how the usd and euro signs are mixed up idk how I notice this 😅
This was my first time in Japan and I would love to go back whenever I can. I have always loved this country, the culture, the food… There are so many wonderful places. From Tokyo to Osaka, Yokohama to Kyoto, these are just some of the amazing cities in this country. Each one is unique and I hope to visit as many as possible!
I love cinema. Among my favorite films are Akira, Enter the Void, Fallen Angels, Ghost in the Shell, and Blade Runner. All these films have an incredible atmosphere that has always fascinated me, so I tried to recreate these aesthetics in my shots.
Tokyo is a very different city from those of my country, so shooting here was really a challenge. But I must say that it is a city full of lights and colors, and that gives a lot of interesting ideas for both day and night shots. Also, it is a city that never stands still, where something is always happening, so it was really fun to shoot there. I would define it as a big playground for photographers!
I have many ideas and projects that I would like to realize. One of these that I am working on is called “Anime City Pop” and collects a series of shots that replicate the aesthetics of anime as much as possible, in particular, those of Studio Ghibli which I love very much!
I love the black care on the right ... it almost looks like a cat ready to pounce ... & then the wheels. Beautiful!
I wonder if a certain demon king works in that McDonald's...😂
These are so pleasing, they almost don't seem real. The photographer well captured the quietness of the setting, while still making it seem alive. They really do glow! (#20, #22 and #8 showcase this best, I think)
Wow. It's remarkable how the light colors almost seem choreographed to compliment one another. It's almost as though a theater set designer intentionally created a mood for each street. Really highlights the local appreciation for beauty there, that people are willing to cooperate on an asthetic effect. Well captured! Thanks for taking me on vacation without making me get on a plane.
Thanks a lot! Yes, you can find them on my instagram.
