Atmosphere illustrations
The alley, vinyl-bar, city-view, dance-floor, karaoke, gallery and city-inspired lane, canal, food-stall, winter-street, park, harbour, griddle and subtropical-street illustrations were generated for JapanAfterDark. They portray fictional scenes, not the named venues. The Omoide Yokocho entrance photograph below is a licensed third-party photograph, separate from our generated illustrations. It is not evidence of an on-site inspection by JapanAfterDark. Other entrance photos await suitable licensed images or local photography.
