Streetart in...

For every Japan fan out there! If you have at least a tiny little heart for (Street-)art, you might have to visit Tokyo at least once in your life!
Tokyo's streetart is somehow different on its own way, unique like this one right here:

One of the places that is definitely worth a visit is the neighborhood of Daikanyama, it's like a giant "art exhibition minus the entrance fee" (taken from the same source as the picture), quite literally! 
The entire area of Daikanyama is more or less covered in graffiti and stencils! And they're not only there because some Japanese guy was particularly bored, this one proves that those graffiti are supposed to make your triste daily life in a mega city like Tokyo a little more... vivid.

The entire area around Daikanyama (and around Shibuya station too) is basically covered in graffiti and stencils so that everybody will certainly find something they like and find impressive.
There are even some 3D works!









However, you won’t ONLY find graffiti, there are also artists who decide to just leave their tag all around the area, like these ones:
