I've been here a month and a half now but haven't taken as many photos as I would have expected. Putting in way too many hours at work and I've also switched to carrying my video camera instead of my DSLR. The wide format photos were taken with the video camera. If anyone has requests for things they would like photos of in Tokyo, let me know and I'll do my best.
The first ones are the view from the office:
Sunset over Shibuya
I was here over a month before I realised that there were mountains on the horizon. It's usually too hazy to see them.
Roppongi Hills:
The Tokyo Tower:
Midtown Tower from the ground:
Roppongi Hills from the ground:
The amount of natural stone used around the base and on the interior is astounding. There was no cheapening here.
Tokyo Tower:
It is ugly as sin.
At night:
Think the Gardiner is bad?
This runs right through Roppongi.
Ginza on the other side of the Emporer's Palace moat:
On the weekend the streets of Ginza are turned over to pedestrians.
Day:
Night:
Ginza retail buildings:
The Tokyo International Forum complex:
No space wasted. This is under a set of elevated subway tracks.
Speaking of subways:
Waiting for the train:
This is a subway entrance hidden down a side street.
The famous Shibuya zebra crossing, before:
and after:
Womb.
These are from all over. Don't really remember anymore. The neon all blurs together. Some are from Shibuya, some from Shinjuku, some from Akihabara and maybe some from Ginza. Ginza has the most impressive signage in my opinion.
Don't remember where this is:
Street shots:
Tent city at Yoyogi park:
Shibuya behind the temple in Yoyogi:
btw, is there anywhere else in the world that can top Yoyogi park on a sunny Saturday for sheer range of insanity?
Tokyo Dome City:
I believe that this is an art school:
Asakusa:
These are from last month when the cherry blossoms were still out:
The views from my apartment balconies:
And finally, not really Tokyo and not really urban but it's Fuji-san:
Rice fields:
