- Shuto Expressway Route B, along Tokyo Bay
The Wangan — Japanese for “bay shore” — is the Bayshore Route of Tokyo’s Shuto Expressway, running beside Tokyo Bay from Yokohama towards Chiba. Its long straights, wide lanes and suspension bridges made it a late-night magnet for high-speed tuned cars through the 1980s and 1990s, a culture later immortalised in the manga and anime Wangan Midnight.
Today it is better known for its glowing night views, bridges and the car meets at nearby parking areas such as Daikoku. The back print captures it in engraved white ink — the expressway sweeping past bridge towers and city lights after dark — with 湾岸, “Wangan”, in the banner.
