Favorite Japan Pictures

These are roughly from beginning to end (more tomorrow, too).

This is Tokyo in early evening. Shibuya, I think. If I remember correctly, this is either the Scramble or close to it. Tokyo is sleepy and quiet in the early morning (it was full light by 5 a.m. when we were there, so some days we were out before 6), but it's much more vibrant and energetic in the evening.

















Here's an example of how beautifully interior spaces are designed. This is just the top floor of a Uniqlo, and instead of jamming everything together, it's carefully designed to be spacious. Across the way is greenery on top of the building opposite. 

I didn't see many places to sit in department stores. We went entire floors without seeing a single chair or bench. This was the most concentrated collection we saw.

















This is from the top of a small mountain we ascended via cable car. There are so many beautiful places in Japan.

















This was just a random field in Fujiyama Town, which was rural (at least, the part where we stayed was rural).











A lovely, rushing stream as we walked through Fujiyama Town.
