Retro Japanese Vibes: Shimbashi Ekimae Buildings (Built 1966) | JAPAN WALKING TOURS

Built in 1966, the Shimbashi Ekimae Buildings are a relic of Japan's Golden Age. These buildings house a number of offices, restaurants, and bars. I explore the different floors and even basement levels to show you an interesting slice of time in Tokyo's history.
If you love retro vibes and subliminal spaces (Backrooms), then this video is for you!
Please use the timestamps below or on the video player to navigate to specific parts of the video.

HOW TO ACCESS: Go out of Shimbashi Station's Shiodome Exit.
From there, you can either go down the main set of stairs to B1 or just walk to the buildings themselves on the street level. There are a number of entrances and stairway entrances so it's pretty easy to get into.

PLEASE NOTE: Almost all of the little bars (a.k.a. "Snack") in these buildings do not accept foreigners unless you have a Japanese friend or guide to bring you in.
