This video offers a focused walking tour through the lesser-known passageways, staircases, and slopes of Nakajujo, located in Kita Ward (北区中十条) of northern Tokyo. Narration and personal commentary are omitted, allowing viewers to experience the quiet ambiance and local charm of these urban alleyways (路地) at their own pace, making it easy to feel immersed in everyday Tokyo scenery.

Nakajujo is a residential neighborhood in Kita Ward, known for its labyrinthine streets, dramatic elevation changes, and tight lanes connecting homes and small businesses. The video highlights various urban features unique to older Tokyo neighborhoods, such as narrow corridors that may not strictly qualify as ‘alleys’, staircases tucked between buildings, and unexpected inclines, which collectively contribute to the area’s distinct local landscape. This setting is an excellent example of the mix of old-world Tokyo with current urban living, distinct from larger, more commercial areas of the city.

Kita Ward (Kita-ku) is situated in the northern part of central Tokyo, bordered by districts like Akabane and Oji. While not a traditional tourist area, it fascinates urban explorers for its architectural diversity, community feel, and transport accessibility—including proximate stations on the JR Saikyo and Keihin-Tohoku lines. Exploring these backstreets offers a window into daily urban life and residential history, popular among city walkers and photographers interested in capturing a different side of Tokyo.
