The first video in this series of clips is a time trip back to August 1991 - when I stumbled upon Naraijuku on the Kisokaido (otherwise know as Nakasendo) road where they were having some sort of reenactment/summer festival. The town was one of the old post towns where travelers would stop on their way to and from Edo (former name of Tokyo) and I think the people in period clothing in the video were representing the groups that used to stop there. It's interesting, because the buildings in the town are authentic old buildings that really did see those kinds of travelers back in the day. After that are more train views (a few of them recorded in soundless 60fps, with 30fps playback, so they are half-speed), scenes from Ginza and Yurakucho and a look at an installation.

A look at Narai 奈良井 (or Naraijuku 奈良井宿) on August 12th, 1991. Narai is a traditional town on the old Kisokaido 木曽街道 (or Nakasendo 中山道) road. This is the 34th (or 35th, there seems to be some dispute about this) stage of the 69 Stages of the Nakasendo series of woodblock prints (中山道六十九次).
