For the first half of my Japanese trip I was staying in a hostel around the corner from Momodani station, in the Tennoji area of Osaka. I had bought a tripod in China and I wanted to get my money's worth, so one night I dragged my friend out into the neighborhood. For me, the lanterns of quiet shrines, fluorescent lamps of deserted markets, and invitingly illuminated doorways all contribute to Japanese cities being the best places in the world for street photography at night.
