This was the final night in Kyoto, Walking around the river and residential areas is nice and quiet and provide unique photo opportunities, like below. The area along the river is full of street vendors, I usually get a little nervous going to these, as they pretty much never have any english menus. TRAINS! One […]

While exploring the area around the Bamboo forest, I came across a temple. While I wish i took more photos, it was incredibly crowded and was not able to get any good views. The entire area was beautiful and came across random places like a grave yard and part of the Avalokitesvara Statue. Just next […]

Tokyo tower was of course on my list. I just happened to arrive at night, a lot less people and I think a much nicer view. Its really difficult to get shots of the entire tower close up. Although the close up shots came out nice too. After going inside and looking at it for […]

Had to visit a place i discovered recently called Nakano Broadway. I first heard about it in the Digimon Cyber Sleuth video game. I thought it was made up for the game but later learned it was in fact a real place. It wasn’t very quick to get to but pretty easy if you have […]
