TRAVELweek: Day 5-7::Tokyo

Tuesday November 3, 2005

so after a night of drinking, i still managed to get up at about 7am, get ready and get on my 9:30 train to tokyo. it was going to take about two hours to get there so i figured i could rest on the way. but i'm glad i didn't b/c i got to see this... MT. FUJI!!!




alright so it's not very clear, i outlined it in illustrator and it's through the window of the shinkansen, but dude, it's still Mt. Fuji. it was pretty amazing to see.

i did a lot of architectural touring so the rest of the pictures might not be fitting to the tastes of everybody, but it was probably one of the most enjoyable times that i've ever had...



look! it's team rocket! i was trying to be sneaky taking this picture while i was eating lunch on a bench by rafael vinoly's tokyo international forum. these kids were everywhere. i sometimes wonder what these kids are doing out in the afternoon on a school day...


the Ginza shopping district.


what i think is a pomeranian


shizuoka press building


tange's yoyogi gymnasium


capsule hotel


louis vuitton in roppongi hills by jun aoki


Le Corbusier's museum of western art. building was alright and so was the art work, but it was my first Le Corbusier building which made it exciting.


frank lloyd wright building


well that's just a sampling of what i saw in tokyo...
