Popeye – Issue 937: Hello, Tokyo!

Tokyo’s vibrant energy feels more exciting than ever.

Lately, while wandering the city's streets, I’ve been struck by this thought time and again. The influx of travelers from around the world and the surge of new openings certainly contribute to this feeling, but there's more to it. By stepping away from familiar perspectives and shaking off the sense of déjà vu, you can zoom in to capture the finer details or pull back for a bird's-eye view. This ever-changing metropolis reveals countless captivating faces.

This isn’t just a recent phenomenon - it's been true for a long time and will likely continue into the future. For instance, isn't it striking how the scramble crossing in front of Shibuya Station offers such a graphically stunning view?

Let’s embark on a quest through Tokyo, diving into its vibrant light with a playful, open-hearted gaze.
