China town

I went to china town!!
This is my favorite scene!!

IMG_4588.JPG

There are many paths between big streets.
I usually go to a restaurant which is located in like this path.
We can enjoy chinese atmosphere there!!

After tring out the food at one place after another, why don't you take a break like this small park?

Be careful!! If you take a front seat, you will be splashed by dolphin !!
But you can get a thrill and a good memory!!
Just in case, towel is available for the people who get wet!!

Miniature

I found a miniature which reflects good old age.

IMG_4536.JPG

This age is High-growth period of Japan.
At the same time, Tokyo tower was built!!

A couple years ago, the movie which is stage for these ages hit among the people who lived these ages!

Japan has surely changed a lot compared to previous age!

Nice view

I took a picture from top of Tokyo tower!!

IMG_4510.JPG

IMG_4518.JPG


I have been unconscious of this great view for a long time!!
I have lived in Tokyo since I was born and I usually see Tokyo tower.
That's why I haven't cared!! But this time I have a chance to go up and I was impressed!!

The sky color changed gradually!!

I took this picture the other day.

We usually see like this ad car in town..
We can surmise mood of the area by this ad!

I saw this ad car near the Harajyuku.
The people who are there like music, especially like this visual band.

A lot of people took a picture of this car!

IMG_4305.JPG
I thought , this is a good marketing!

The Meiji Shrine

There are two sides of atmosphere in Harajyuku.
One is fashionable, the other is traditional.

The Meiji Shrine stands at the back of Harajyuku station.
Whenever we are tired of a dense crowd, we can visit here and have a break.

IMG_4307.JPG

IMG_4311.JPG

Inside is totally different from modern street and we can feel as if we went to far away!!
We can enjoy smelling fresh green this season!!

Wedding

I saw a Japanese style wedding inside Meiji Shrine!!

IMG_4332.JPG

Many people took a picture and I was tempted to take a picture!!
I suddenly worried about my future!!
When does my wedding day come?!

I have to find a girl freind first!!
Where is she?!!

Harajyuku

This area is well known as the epicenter of fashion.

This street is Omotesandou-street which are lined with many shops.

IMG_4299.JPG

Walking along this street from Harajyuku station, it crosses with Meiji-street.
H&M and Forever21 opend at Meiji street recently and are croeded with people every day!!
I had to wait more than 2hours to enter there on the opening day!!

Harajyuku station↓↓
IMG_4304.JPG

People who are in this area love fashion and wear a variety of clothes!!
I once shot a film with artist who came from Amsterdam to make a Gothic movie.
He was excited to see Japanese fashion and we did a lot of guerilla interview especially with Gothic lolitas!!

You can sometimes find that old men pretend to be a Gothic lolita!!!
If you have courage, why don't you ask them to take a picture togerther!!

Japanese style teahouse

I sometimes find Japanese style teahouse with a nice garden.

This teahouse is located on the top of enoshima which is a small island.
IMG_4062.JPG
After going up a steep hill , here is a good place to have a break!

We can see a beautiful dock on the way to going up.
IMG_4061.JPG
Here is a mecca for wind surfing.
The many people visit here everyday, especially in summer!

Cycling

More and more people are riding their bicycles to work or school lately.
It's a kind of a fad in Tokyo recentely. I got myself a bike as well...

Puna Oprema.jpg

I like to cruise along Arakawa river. It's bicycle friendly
and you can not say that for most of Tokyo unfortunately.

Rijeka1.jpg

This is where the track ends. Behind that bridge is
Tokyo Bay and open sea.

Rijeka2.jpg

Bike is a great way to explore Metropolis and
surroundings and I recommend it to all!

Monjya yaki

I went to Tukishima to eat monjya yaki !!

Tukishima is well known for monjya yaki and have a more than 200 monjya restaurants!!

Do you know monjya yaki ?
It's similar to Okonomiyaki but dough is more liquid than Okonomiyaki.
We put a lot of ingredients in dough.
My favorite one is mixed with small rice cake and spicy cod eggs !!
We use a small metal spatula and eat it directly off the grill !!

IMG_4225.JPG

Monjya yaki is a style of Kanto region so If you visit Tokyo you might as well try this !!
