Tokyo Tokyo

[wheels]

A shopping holiday with my wife in Tokyo but managed to take a few snapshots in between.

1) Taxi ... Taxi...

2) Gap in Harajuku.

3) No cosplay on weekdays in Harajuku but I love their dress sense anyway.

4) The millions of signboards and billboards. Just too many ...

5) View from the Tokyo Govt Metropolitian Building in Shinjuku. Love this place cos of free entry.

6) View from the Sunshine 360 in Ikebukuro during the sunset hour.

7) Side trip to Hakone. Taken at the Crater Lake.

8) Picuresque shrine sits beautifully on the peak of Mount Komagatake

cheers.

Thanks nivlaOof, HydroPoP.

Hydro, would love to go again too. The BIC camera there is way too cool compared to our Cathay photo. :bsmilie:

log1t3ch, I think its not filmed up there but rather more likely to be in NZ.

JR entrance

Metro Rail

The keep left rule applies practically everywhere in Tokyo. I love it.

Ginza, the expensive shopping district

One of the small lanes in Ginza. The architecture there is beautiful.

Nikon House in Ginza. I went to Lemon and Gin-ichi too.
Don't really have good bargains for me though.

On my arrival to the Nissan showroom in Ginza

The 2 times I've been there in different years, the Skyline is always the star.

The latest Nissan Skyline of 2007

BIC camera in Ikebukuro. I like the way they design this building.
But my favourite BIC outlet is in Shinjuku.

Shot this Zara outlet in Shinjuku while waiting for wifey.

Shopping in Harajuku. I love their used clothing stores.

Got lots of high end brands in Harajuku but similar to the ones in SG.

Blondes and brunettes are in. Black hair is dated.

Zoff optical outlet. Relatively cheap and fast collection (30mins).
The other one worth checking out is ALOOK.

;p Thanks for viewing. :bsmilie:
