How two different paths through the same streets change the whole trip.

1. Tokyo at 5am: the city before the tourist

   How two different paths through the same streets change the whole trip.

2. 01.

   The window between 4am and 6am is the only hour of the day when Tokyo is not in performance mode.

3. 02.

   Three curated routes: Yanaka (historic silence), Tsukiji (market and gyudon), Shimokitazawa (indie light).

4. 03.

   Jetlag from NYC or LAX naturally wakes you between 3am and 6am for 3-4 days — use it.

5. 04.

   First trains leave between 4:45am and 5:08am depending on the line. Load your Suica card the night before.

6. 05.

   Don't go to Shibuya, Roppongi, or Senso-ji at this hour: empty but soulless.

7. 🇯🇵 Tóquio
