Japan Tokyo Night Walk: Akasaka to Shinjuku | Real Walk, 8-Bit Sounds & Late-Night Commentary

Take a jet-lagged walk across Tokyo with Lit Routes ,a man too awake to sleep and too stubborn to take a taxi. This Japan Tokyo Night Walk follows a real-time journey from Akasaka to Shinjuku, capturing the quiet charm and glowing chaos of Tokyo’s late-night streets.

Shot entirely on foot, this isn’t a silent, steadycam walking tour. You’ll hear 8-bit inspired music and sound effects punctuating the journey, with on-screen facts and commentary popping in throughout—ranging from useful insights to occasional nonsense. Sometimes he talks to the camera. Sometimes the camera doesn’t care. Either way, you’re walking beside him.

This video is part city guide, part jet-lag fever dream. Expect:

Hidden streets of Akasaka in the early hours

A brief detour into manga-inspired oddity

A stop in Shinanomachi, where things get reflective

The bright arrival into Shinjuku, led by Godzilla himself (sort of)

All of it wrapped in ambient city noise, 8-bit bleeps, and the soft hum of vending machines

If you like Tokyo walking tours but wish they came with more personality, weird facts, and a light retro touch—this one’s for you.
