This is the only silent urban area I ever visited in Tokyo. While in the center (namely, all other areas in the whole Tokyo photo album are in the "center"...) you always hear a cacophonic wall of sounds (jingles in the subways for opening-closing doors, talking drink vendor machines, talking escalators, talking shops, loud-speakers outside the shops, musical traffic-lights and so on, altogether) here silence dominates.
That's exactly the Tokyo suburbia I imagined before coming here. Of course, with hanging wires :) Which you can't see here brcause of the dark.
