Cramped in Tokyo
Many places in Tokyo are so cramped that you need to duck from time to time - me on the right of the pic under the arch.

Waiting for a bus ride maybe Danny?  I wonder if there's a bus line that goes straight from Shijuku/Shibuya/Ikebukuro straight to Akihabara.  If they have such a bus line, I wouldn't mind riding it to enjoy the city scenary since I always take subway to Akiba ^^;

Sorry, no. The only bus I see running to Akihabara is the #26 between Akihabara-eki and Kasai-eki in Edogawa-ku.
An interesting crosstown bus route looks to be the #69 running from Takadanobaba-eki to Ueno-koen.

I'm sure I've walked through that archway.

The most cramped place I found in Tokyo was a Shinjuku department store rest room where the cubicles had such massive electric toilets I had to climb on the seat in order to close the door.

Wow... Never thought there would be such places in Tokyo.
Where is it? The metro?
Very nice suit otherwise Danny, I wish to wear something that cool... And you couldn't help yourself but make a rather amusing pose there. What were you looking at, at that precise moment?
Anyway, back to the main point... I think that people with back pain or arthritis wouldn't be very enjoyed taking that route. Is there any other one? 
Because squatting and moving stealthily Solid Snake-style isn't for everyone, given their health condition.

Thought it was kinda funny how low that passage was.

In contrast, there are some pretty huge stations...
