   I had to click this title!

   For some months now I do basically the same, but without the clicking in Streetview. There are some channels on Youtube where someone walks through neighborhoods in Tokyo, I found I really enjoy these. The streets are so clean and the houses so beautiful. Indeed, once in a while a Japanese sports car pops up around a corner, just standing there on somebody's driveway.

   I also enjoy the walk-throughs of neighborhoods in New York (edit: now that I think about it, this started with following ari@home, a streamer who makes electronic music on the fly while walking and having an open mic). I tried Dallas once, I guess, but it was all way too big and bulky (but it was down town I guess, so that's to be expected of a lot of cities on this planet).

   Does anybody have ideas for other nice spots on this beautiful planet!? I think I know Tokyo by now. ;)

      I love tokyo, but tbh, I don't think it's particularly clean? At least when I went there was a fair bit of rubbish around the place; certainly not as much as you'd find in most of Europe but definitely far far more than you'd expect given the cities reputation. I find most of Australia ~as clean.

         Were you staying in Shinjuku or Shibuya? Those areas can get particularly dirty in recent years. I think overall Tokyo is still pretty clean in comparison from other places I've lived or traveled though.

            We stayed in Nishi-nippori, but went all around. No clue if the area we stayed in has some kind of reputation though?

         Strange, I walked in different regions of Tokyo, and I found it to be very clean. This is in part because in Japan it is not done to eat while walking in the street.

         I remember that in Osaka on Saturday night there were young people kicking trash around, that was the only time I found Japan dirty.
