This immersive 4K video offers a unique nighttime walking tour in the heart of Tokyo, featuring a little-known spot called Mt. Hakone (箱根山) located within Shinjuku. Unlike the famous Hakone region near Mt. Fuji, Mt. Hakone in this context is a small hill (44.6 meters high) situated in Toyama Park, a quiet, non-touristy green space that locals might know but most visitors overlook. The walk begins in Shinjuku, taking viewers up Mt. Hakone, which humorously stands as the highest natural point in Tokyo’s 23 wards. The area is characterized by its serene ambiance, away from the bustling commercial districts, with only natural surround sound and no commentary or people featured, providing an authentic, ambient city experience.

After summiting Mt. Hakone, the route continues through the surrounding Toyama Park, capturing nighttime cityscapes and tranquil pathways. The walker eventually heads toward Waseda, a well-known neighborhood famous for Waseda University. The tranquil atmosphere of the walk is enhanced by the high video quality and natural night sounds, providing viewers an opportunity to appreciate subtle urban beauty, city lights, and local greenery.

Toyama Park itself is a notable urban escape, offering cherry blossoms in spring and greenery throughout the year. Mt. Hakone, within this park, is marked by a monument and stairs leading to its summit, where visitors can enjoy modest views over Shinjuku. The route to Waseda passes through quiet residential streets, giving an authentic glimpse into Tokyo’s less-visited neighborhoods. For those interested in hidden corners of Tokyo, local parks, and off-the-beaten-path night vantage points, this video serves as an excellent reference.

Nighttime walks like these showcase a different side of Shinjuku, far from the karaoke, neon, and busy streets. Even though Shinjuku is best known for its entertainment district and skyscrapers, this walk highlights peaceful places ideal for relaxation, casual strolls, and exploring local secrets. The video is also valuable for viewers interested in slow TV, city ambient experiences, or those planning to explore Tokyo’s parks and quiet neighborhoods on foot.
