Narrow, no sidewalks, almost zero cars, business district with lots of shops...
Also electric freight train carrying carloads in the center of the street. Note that the sitelines on this ancient boxcab are still better than your average commercial truck available in America today.
Wish I could say I did some arcane search wizardry, but in this case it was just a few reverse image searches. Tried Google reverse image search, which is now useless because you can no longer filter/sort the results by age or size, then tried TinEye, and finally Bing came to the rescue (that Yahoo blog was the only hit). Since Yahoo Japan killed their blog service in December 2019, I checked the Wayback Machine which thankfully had a snapshot.
I use Image Search Options (Firefox, Chrome) which makes it really convenient to use a bunch of different reverse image searches and includes the ability to add new search engines if you need them
