About
Stand at the station-end entrance of Nakano Sun Mall, near the North Exit of Nakano Station, and shoot straight down the arcade: the arched roof, rows of signs and lights converge on the entrance of Nakano Broadway at the far end. Late evening, when the crowd thins and the shop signs glow, gives the cleanest symmetrical frame. Shoot from the centre only when the flow allows, keep it quick, and do not block shop fronts.
Highlights
- Symmetrical covered arcade with converging lines
- Lit shop signs after dark
- Leads straight to Nakano Broadway
- Lively local shopping street
Tips
- Late evening gives fewer people in the frame.
- A wide lens from the centre emphasises the leading lines.
- Continue into Nakano Broadway for retro otaku shops.
