Several areas of Tokyo have their "star attraction". Shibuya has the scramble crossing, Harajuku has Meiji Jingu and Takeshita street, Shinjuku has the high-rise district and the world's busiest station, and so on. 

A couple of weeks ago I headed to Oshiage station, which is one of the closest stations to Tokyo's (literally) biggest attraction, the Skytree. As I was wandering around, I had the idea to try and get enough photos for an article - without including the Skytree at all. Firstly, I've photographed it before, and secondly I like to set myself a challenge now and then.

So the alternative title to this entry could be "Oshiage without the most obvious photographic subject there", but I prefer something slightly shorter. In any case, hope you enjoy the pictures.

This could be a recurring theme in the future, as it certainly makes you look for shots and not fall back on the easy option.

More to come in any case.

Thanks for looking!
