This immersive 4K walking tour video takes viewers on a rainy night exploration through Oimachi (大井町), a neighborhood situated in the Shinagawa area of Tokyo. The walk starts by highlighting the shimmering reflections and atmospheric ambiance created by the downpour, setting the stage for an evocative journey through Oimachi’s historic alleyways.

Highlights include the tour of the iconic Higashi-Koji Inshokuten-gai (東小路飲食店街), a classic restaurant alley famed for its retro izakayas and cozy local eateries. The video continues through Hanami Koji (花見小路) and Heiwa Koji (平和小路), both of which are intimate laneways packed with small, character-rich bars, yakitori joints, and standing bars beloved by locals and office workers. As the rain continues, the wet pavement reflects neon signs and lanterns, giving the alleys their dreamy, cinematic appearance.

The journey brings you to the south exit of Oimachi Station (大井町駅南口) and into a dense cluster of izakaya establishments that thrive even on a rainy night. The walk then crosses the train tracks to the quieter residential side on the east, showcasing local alleyways and the lifestyle of those who live close to Tokyo’s vibrant nightlife. Eventually, the walk loops back to the commercial area, providing a full sense of Oimachi’s unique balance between local commerce and residential tranquility.

Oimachi is known as a lesser-visited gem offering an authentic Tokyo nightlife experience, away from well-trodden tourist spots. Located in Shinagawa Ward, it provides easy train and subway access and is a great place to explore if you’re searching for old-fashioned Showa-era vibes. The alleyways featured, especially during rain, emphasize Tokyo’s blend of the nostalgic and the everyday, making this video an atmospheric resource for travelers interested in the underappreciated corners of the city.
