A red light at night (Explored)

It was raining. I was cold and wet. My umbrella had turned inside out. But it was a quite atmospheric wandering through the smaller streets in the area of Shiba Daimon and Shiba Koen in Tokoyo.

 

The red light is a restaurant - and if the white sign above is to be believed, they sell tonkatsu (the Japanese take on a schnitzel).

 

The signs on the ground spells out STOP - or in Japanese 止まる, where the upside-down まる is the only thing you can see here. It is something you will se quite often written on the streets of Tokyo - even on streets so small you wonder how anyone could ever drive anything there.
