Tokyo Photos

Some weird and wonderful sights in Tokyo; a marketplace in Asakusa, near where we stayed, that sold Kabuki theatre puppets (far too expensive to buy unfortunately), the weirdest example of French architecture I've ever seen, part of the Tokyo Asahi complex, the eastern gardens of the Imperial Palace, and Japanime chick, interesting architacture in Roppongi, the Rodea Drive of Tokyo, and finally the Yasukuni Shrine, a bone of considerable contention between China and Japan because it contains several war memorials dedicated to convicted war criminals most of whom were involved in atrocities in China in the '30s and '40s. Unfortunately my shots of Shinjuku didn't really turn out, but imagine every cliched picture of Tokyo, and you get the idea, vast numbers of people, the brights lights, skyscrapers and crazy traffic. All wonderful. Tokyo was fabulous and I only wish I had had two weeks rather than two days to explore. Just like any big city, you could divide Tokyo into sections, each with a unique feel to it. I can't wait to get back there one day.
