過去簡單式

It is nearly one o'clock in the morning in Shinjuku and that was the last train, meaning

新宿的時間已接近凌晨一點，這是最後一班列車，意味著

I don't like Shinjuku, but I'm hoping the city will change my mind tonight.

我不喜歡新宿，但我希望這座城市今晚能改變我的想法。

It's been a long time since I've been out to Shinjuku, but judging from the garbage, the area doesn't really change that much.

我已經很久沒有去新宿了，但從垃圾來看，這裡的變化其實並不大。

More than anything, I'm shocked at how many people are still here after last train though.

更讓我震驚的是，在末班車之後，還有這麼多人留在這裡。

This is the quietest space I've managed to find so far and it's because the entire thing is gated off.

這是我迄今為止找到的最安靜的空間，因為整個空間都有門禁。

Years ago, I actually worked in Shinjuku, likely part of the reason that I'm not a huge fan of the area.

多年前，我曾在新宿工作過，這可能是我不太喜歡新宿的部分原因。

And if you walk through here in the morning, weirdly, it wasn't uncommon to find several pairs of high heels just laying around.

奇怪的是，如果你早上從這裡走過，會發現好幾雙高跟鞋就擺在那裡。

My question was always, what happened to the people?

我的問題一直是，人們怎麼了？

I've never been in here, but you know what it reminds me of?

我從沒來過這裡，但你知道這讓我想起了什麼嗎？

Have you ever seen that John Wick movie where they came to Japan and it looks nothing like

你有沒有看過《約翰-威克》那部電影？

即使在這個時候，這也是一個很大的數字。

I've seen a lot more of this Hollywoodification of Japan in the past five years or so.

在過去五年左右的時間裡，我看到了更多這樣的日本好萊塢化。

Japan trying to match what it thinks the movie image of the country is for non-Japanese guests and it's way more prevalent in areas like Shinjuku.

日本在努力迎合非日本客人心目中的電影形象，這在新宿等地區更為普遍。

And don't get me wrong, I love how it looks.

It's got a beautiful aesthetic, but it's far from being real Japan.

它有一種美麗的美感，但與真實的日本相去甚遠。

We need to find a much more authentic area of Shinjuku tonight.

我們今晚要在新宿找一個更真實的地方。

Actually, more impressive than anything is that it's open at 1.30 in the morning, so if you need to grab a quick bite.

事實上，更令人印象深刻的是，它在凌晨 1 點 30 分還在營業，是以，如果您想吃點快餐的話。

Also, the robot restaurant is a thing again.

Nothing but distractions and bright lights and colors.

除了讓人分心的亮光和色彩，什麼都沒有。

One of my friends works there as a performer.

I haven't gone out to visit her for years though, but I'm trying to find even just one quiet space to get a good vantage point of Shinjuku at night.

雖然我已經很多年沒有去看她了，但我一直在努力尋找哪怕是一個安靜的地方，以便在夜幕降臨時能很好地俯瞰新宿。

This is how I get to know different areas of Tokyo or other cities a little better.

通過這種方式，我對東京或其他城市的不同地區有了更深入的瞭解。

I'll spend a night or ten going through the narrow back streets trying to find an area that I can kind of call my own.

我會花上一個晚上或十個晚上，穿過狹窄的小巷，試圖找到一個我可以稱之為自己的區域。

It never really is my own, but you get what I mean.

它從來都不是我自己的，但你明白我的意思。

I've just never done that with Shinjuku though.

不過，我從來沒有在新宿做過。

And sometimes you kind of need to take a step back to gain some perspective.

有時候，你需要退一步才能看清問題的本質。

So I just had a group of guys come up and ask me if my camera was expensive, and if so, how much?

剛剛有一群人過來問我，我的相機貴不貴，如果貴，要多少錢？

I managed to find a nice quiet rooftop with a gorgeous vantage point of Shinjuku just sprawled out in front of me.

我找到了一個安靜的屋頂，新宿的美景就在眼前。

Being able to find the quiet, peaceful moments even in amongst crazy Shinjuku at 2am.

即使是在凌晨 2 點瘋狂的新宿，也能找到寧靜祥和的時刻。

Also, most people would be really surprised to find out just how much life actually happens on Tokyo's rooftops.

此外，大多數人都會驚訝地發現，東京的屋頂上居然有如此多的生活場景。

Everything from tiny little homes and apartments to daycares, golf driving ranges, shrines, gardens.

從小型住宅和公寓到託兒所、高爾夫練習場、神龕、花園，應有盡有。

Shinjuku hasn't quite won me over yet, but it's definitely working on it.

新宿還沒有完全征服我，但它肯定在努力。

This also looks like a slightly quieter space to walk.

這裡看起來也是一個稍微安靜的散步空間。

I started this Tokyo Night Walk series during the pandemic as a way to escape the crowds and still enjoy Tokyo.

我在大流行病期間開始了東京夜行系列，以此來躲避擁擠的人群，同時享受東京的夜生活。

And I often get asked if it would be safe for a solo female to do the same thing and walk around the city at night.

經常有人問我，一個單身女性做同樣的事情，在城市裡走夜路是否安全。

And especially in an area like Shinjuku, as somebody who has a lot of sisters, I'd be hard pressed to say yes.

尤其是在新宿這樣的地區，作為一個有很多姐妹的人，我很難回答 "是"。

While you'll likely be fine, Japan also has a history of not being the safest place for solo females.

雖然您可能會沒事，但日本歷來也不是獨身女性最安全的地方。

And that makes me feel really grateful for being able to walk around and record these and not have to worry about things.

這讓我非常感激，因為我可以四處走走，錄下這些東西，而不必擔心任何事情。

And I know that there is a certain amount of privilege in there, but it enables me to bring these moments to you guys through these videos.

我知道這其中有一定的特權，但它讓我能夠通過這些視頻把這些時刻帶給你們。

Okay, I've made my way out to the Shinjuku Golden Gai area.

好了，我已經來到了新宿黃金街地區。

And if you've never been here, this place is an absolute treat.

如果你從沒來過這裡，這裡絕對是一種享受。

I haven't been out here in I don't know how long.

我都不知道有多久沒來過這裡了。

I always get DMs and messages from you guys saying that you want me to be your guide in

我總是收到你們的 DM 和資訊，說你們想讓我做你們的嚮導。

And while I appreciate the heck out of that, I can't, which is why I'm always introducing friends like Lucas and Emi to show you around.

雖然我很感激，但我做不到，這就是為什麼我總是介紹盧卡斯和埃米這樣的朋友來帶你們參觀。

For most people, your best bet is going to be to get an actual local guide who knows and can safely show you around the area.

對於大多數人來說，最好的辦法是找一個真正的當地導遊，他了解當地情況，並能安全地帶你遊覽。

就像我在神奇之旅的朋友們一樣。

I reached out to them and said that I might mention them in this video and they offered to sponsor.

我聯繫了他們，說我可能會在視頻中提到他們，他們表示願意贊助。

I would have talked about them either way, but full disclosure, I will toss that up there.

無論如何，我都會談論他們的，但為了充分披露，我還是要在這裡拋磚引玉。

They basically set you up with a local guide who knows exactly what's going on.

他們基本上會為你安排一名當地導遊，他對當地情況瞭如指掌。

For example, last year, they took me up the back entrance of Fushimi Nari Shrine through the mountains with a very knowledgeable guide who most importantly knew what was safe and what wasn't.

例如，去年他們帶我從伏見納裡神社的後門穿過山區，導遊知識淵博，最重要的是他知道什麼是安全的，什麼是不安全的。

And that's incredibly important if you're going to do something, for example, like the

如果你要做一些事情，比如說像

Because then you know you're going to get a great experience, meet amazing people, and not fall into some weird Shinjuku scam.

因為這樣你就知道，你會獲得很棒的體驗，遇到很棒的人，而不會陷入新宿的奇怪騙局。

Check out their website because it is full of incredible ideas that even if you do not book a tour or a guide, you might find something for your trip that you're like, ooh, I want to try that while I'm in Japan.

請訪問他們的網站，因為網站上有很多令人難以置信的想法，即使您沒有預訂旅行團或導遊，您也可能會發現一些適合您旅行的東西，讓您覺得 "哦，我想在日本嘗試一下"。

I will take the sponsor thing off the screen now.

我現在就把贊助商從螢幕上撤下來。

I have never been here at night and it is absolutely spectacular.

我從來沒有在晚上來過這裡，這裡絕對非常壯觀。

And it's unbelievable that you're going to find something like this right in the middle of super crowded Shinjuku.

令人難以置信的是，在人潮洶湧的新宿，竟然還能找到這樣的地方。

Like even on this side, there's a big torii gate over there and the entrance.

即使是在這邊，那邊也有一個大鳥居和入口。

Okay, with this, there may be a small chance that Shinjuku may be starting to win me over.

好吧，有了這個，新宿可能開始贏得我的青睞了。

Especially with this row of torii gates leading up to the Inari Shrine.

尤其是通往稻荷神社的這一排鳥居門。

It's just such a peaceful and quiet little shrine area.

這就是一個寧靜祥和的小神社區。

Usually they use 5 yen because 5 yen is go in, which also means good luck.

他們通常使用 5 日元，因為 5 日元代表進去，也意味著好運。
