Can someone tell me what Japanese residential streets are called? I’ve never been to Japan but in videos and anime I keep seeing these narrowish neighborhood streets that lead right up to people’s houses. They’re super walkable even though they almost never have sidewalks, people just walk down the middle of the road. Doors basically open onto the street and there’s almost no on-street parking so the whole thing feels open and free. What’s the actual name for this style of street/layout? Is there a specific term or is it just "normal Japanese residential street"?
>back alley: (-_-)>back alley, Japan: (0_0;)
>>2079196It's the front.
Most streets in the third world look like that, even france has a good chunks of neighborhoods looking like thatThat's just what unplanned working class neighborhoods end up looking like after some decades, my shithole country has those in the slums and also gated posh communities
>>2079196Because in japan you don't have to be afraid you'll get knifed by some diverse lad like in Europe or the US
>>2079196japan is inherently superior due to their ethnically homogeneous culture
>>2079194streeto>>2079196this
>>2079196You should see what an urban back alley looks like in America.
I like the concept of not having sidewalks, so that pedestrian and car traffic are mixed and cars have be mindful of pedestrians. Of course this would never work in 3rd world shitholes like the US because HFCS-brained drivers would just run people over

>>2079366Yeah, alleys in America aren't that different

>>2080553japan and the US are actually very different in many ways, urban streets are definitely one of those ways. i'm surprised you seem to not know this
>>2080574>suburb:(>suburb, Japan:O
>>2080627this but actually. man japanese culture is so superior to so much of the planet its not even funny
It's amazing how OPs simple observation has so many anons triggered out of their minds
>Street, Japan:(>Street, Brazil:O
>>2079194>>2082250Why can't non whites into underground power lines?
>>2080553>shitty white fenced lawns that lead to nowhereyeah bro you're either blind or retarded.>>2082252too expensive, must spend on muh benefits.
>>2079196youre the one on a mongolian pottery board
>>2082270>third worlder doesn't know what a backyard is
it's either an alley (if it is not meant for non-local traffic) or simply a street (if through traffic is permitted and/or tolerated)>>2082250loved this level in MW2
>>2079194jutakugai (住宅街)
>>2082250Strangely beautiful in an ugly way.
>>2079246>>2079337You people are the equivalent of those Maga people who just foam at the mouth for Jews every day, go back to >>>/jp/
>>2082339your post did not contribute anything to the value of this thread
>>2082339shalom
>>2082360>t. Hur dur muh brownoids
>>2082364shalom is actually a jewish greeting though
>>2079246I was in Japan and one part of the city, I only saw Indian people. They weren't even dressed like normal people, like the American ones, they were dressed like someone grabbed them off the street of Delhi. >>2082395Half of Jews are Mizrahi, which look like any other Middle Easterners.
>>2079194its the lack of cars parked anywhere that gets me all the time
>>20828523 can count 3 cars in the picture
>>2079194>whole thing feels open and freeThat looks claustrophobic af
>>2082918Pedestrians dominate these, so it feels more like a 4m wide sidewalk. Opposite of claustrophobic, really.
>>2079194>the whole thing feels open and free.

>>2079196Hello rajeesh
>>2083224No you're always trying to dodge bikes that are coming at you in both directions. Plus there's usually that yellow strip for blind people that you're not supposed to walk on and people intrinsically will ride/bike on one side and you're given even less space for walking. Not the street in OP necessarily but the streets in Japan were genuinely claustrophobic for me
>>2084108Also most residential streets in Japan don't even have sidewalks so you have cars and mopeds you're also trying to dodge constantly. It sucks
