About Tokyo-alt

This group is inspired by that original city alternative, London-alt (later also adopted by our friends in Sydney). The idea is simple: post photos unseen, unexpected side of Tokyo. That means none of the usual "touristy" shots or, for instance, that favourite of Japanese hipsters, cats. If your photo could possibly illicit the reaction, "かわいい!!" from anybody, then it probably doesn't beloing here.

For those who need that spelt out, here's just a sampling of what may not be accepted: photos of the Imperial Palace and surrounds, Sakura in bloom, the Tokyo Tower, Hachiko Crossing shot from the Starbucks inside Tsutaya, or photos of anime-eyed teens outside of Shibuya 109, a koban, a sumo wrestler (unless you've caught him redhanded taking a payoff from a local gangster) and Mt Fuji.

And definitely no PORN! Of course, if you think you're going to be next Araki, then submit away.

One last thing: PHOTOS MUST BE OF TOKYO.
