So that’s the whole lot of photos I took on this trip to Tokyo. Honestly, I wasn’t pleased with how half of them turned out; given the sights I saw this time, I should’ve brought a better camera. I’d be bringing a Sony NEX-5 or similar the next time, which—if everything goes well—should be in February, and hopefully partly for work, too.

As a sign-off to this series about Tokyo, here’s a photo of the loot won from a UFO catcher in just one hour… with a little help from a friendly store attendant, of course.

やった!!!

This should give you an idea how big the big one really is.

7:41pm, leaving Shinjuku. Leaving always feels like this, doesn’t it?

7:17pm, Marugo Tonkatsu (とんかつ丸五), Akihabara (秋葉原).

6:20pm. Yours truly trying to decide what to have. One of the rare times you’ll see me in a suit.

12:56pm, The Tintin Shop Tokyo (タンタンショップ東京店), Omotesandō Dori (表参道口), Harajuku (原宿).

10:22am, the Tokyo Metro Line 4 Marunouchi Line (東京地下鉄丸ノ4号線丸ノ内線), the lifeline for this trip, connecting Shinjuku-gyoemmae Station (新宿御苑前駅) to everywhere else. Last year, it was the JR East Yamanote Line (JR東日本山手線).

1:11pm, PANCAKE DAYs (パンケーキディズ) in Harajuku (原宿). Found this restaurant while lost in the back lanes of Harajuku looking for a particular cafe.

Pancakes for boys and girls big and little. Who can resist pancakes with smiley faces?

Everything here is meant to put a smile on your face.

Just look at that coat of cheese. How did it taste? Awesome.

With pancakes swimming in our stomachs, we stepped out of PANCAKE DAYs only to find the damn cafe we had spent an hour looking for next door

12:16pm, Fukutoshin Line. Modernity meets tradition.
