Taking three cameras to Japan and hauling them around might have been a bit excessive...
Totally worth it in my eyes as each one brought out different sides of what I was seeing and I can then pass that on. It's always easier to explain something in pictures.
First impressions- Shinagawa
Under the overpass in Shibuya
Electric Town- Shinjuku
Do not feed the pigeons or they will poop on your icecream. Other similar signage had illustrations of clean washing as the victim.
Kyoto- did a day trip up here from Osaka by catching the bullet train. As you can see, it was a pretty miserable rainy day. After getting blisters under my heels from walking around so much, I got lazy and caught a taxi post walking 3 kms in the wrong direction.
There were plenty of really cute homes in and around the streets. Kyoto had a very traditional feel to it, with simple wooden features on architecture.
In the maze of suburban homes this just happened to materialise. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to go in but I did, took a few photos, felt a little awkward and moseyed on out of there.
Nanzenji Temple
Yasaka Shrine
And yet, there are still more photos to come! Check back here for Osaka pics soon.
Beautiful photos Susie! I will be on the lookout for those icecream pooping pigeons...
