Tokyo, Japan - June 9, 2026: A Subaru car with its headlights and fog lights on stands at a pedestrian crossing at the entrance of a narrow street in Japan. Above the street, a gate holds two rows of illuminated paper lanterns lettered with names in Japanese, with larger lanterns hanging from its two posts. A green traffic light and a blue Japanese sign reading bicycles only hang from the top of the gate, and the number 30 is painted on the asphalt behind the crossing. A person in a white jacket and cap stands on the sidewalk to the right, while pedestrians walk on the left beside a sign for TenTen Guesthouse. Street lamps, lit shopfronts and overhead wires recede down the street toward high-rise buildings on the horizon.
