Tokyo Roof Tops

The roof gardens above KITE shopping centre are a popular spot to unwind and look out over the plaza in front of Tokyo Station or to watch the bullet trains coming and going.

Tokyo Reflections

Whether the duck adds or detracts from this photo of the water surrounding the Imperial Palace gardens in Tokyo is for your to decide.

Tokyo Street Photography

I've said to many people that Tokyo is, in photographic terms, a target-rich environment.  There is a photo opportunity almost everywhere.  I took this image in plaza in front of Tokyo Station.

Tokyo Imperial Palace

I took this photo after our tour of the Imperial Palace Gardens in Tokyo.

Tokyo Street Photography

There's something about taking photos of people in the street, particularly with a big camera, that presents certain obstacles.  It seems like an an invasion of personal space and privacy to me.  With a small camera, or in this case, a smart phone that is more discrete and so common place that no one seems to mind.  I took several photos similar to this but the man walking by was such a character that I like this shot best.

Tokyo

At Shrines in Japan one will sometimes see 'Ema' such as these.  Ema are small plaques that are sold at the Shrine.  The idea is that you write your wish on the plaque and hand it on the Ema stand in he hope that the gods will grant your wish.  The wishes are broad in nature; people wish for true love, to conceive children, to pass an exam - just about anything you can think of.
