12:37pm, arriving in Harajuku (原宿).

2:04pm, Omotesandō (表参道). The architecture of this building, Bulgari Café Omotesandō, continues to fascinate me.

2:22pm. Technically a flawed shot, but I like the visual cacophony of the various elements in the shot: the reflection of the street, depicting the narrowness of the typical side alley, bleeding into the basement restaurant; the ubiquitous presence of motifs and icons; the politeness in the gesture of the woman; the hashi in the lower right corner of the photo; the two foreigners; the sushi chef. Tokyo in a nutshell.

2:24pm. A papier-mâché E.T. employed as a—what else?—mascot for La Fée Délice, a café along a side street off Omotesandō.

3:43pm. The KDDI Designing Studio (KDDIデザイニングスタジオ) building features a ramp that spirals from the ground floor to the fifth floor.

4:13pm, WIRED 360º, KDDI Designing Studio.

4:34pm. WIRED CAFE is one of the rare establishments that offer truly free Wi-Fi, which is harder to find than you think. Odd, considering how Tokyo is about as tech-y as a city can get.
