We thought that the Yokohama Landmark Tower looked like it should be a part of the Emperor's fleet :) That is one SERIOUSLY impressive tower...

Ever wondered what fish gore looks like? Just go to the fish market in Tokyo in the morning and you practically get to wade through the stuff!

My parents doing the V-sign that so many asians seem to love doing whenevr they see a camera being pointed at them. Iv even started doing it now. I guess its contagious

one of the few meiji period buildings I saw in tokyo. I like what they did with it.

the new Prada store by Herzog and De Meuron. It looks good in pics but it is actually nothing special. The area around it doesnt capture well in pics but it is lovely

Kyoto looking pretty

Kyoto looking pretty again. Its one of the most culturaly rich cities I have ever been to, and the new city is wonderful to. Ive been back twice now and am yearning to go again already.

me being a little lost for words in a dinner we had with Geisha's. They did a dance and everything, and got us WASTED. They served no water, just lots of Sake and kept refilling the glass ALL the time even if I didnt ant anymore :)

The Ryokan we stayed in in Kurashiki. It was a weird one with all the European antiques and bits and pieces all over the places. It was my favourite Ryokan but my family preferred the one in Kyoto

the people from the Ryokan saying Sionara!

Every city in Japan has these cute manh-hole covers. Just love em!

Matsue's castle: probably the best thing about the city... except for this one AMAZING soba restaurant by the moat
http://www.madam-studio.com/japansmall20.jpg
Himeiji castle. The biggest in Japan and very cool. There is a museum by Ando next door but I had no time to go there.

The paper church in Kobe by Shigeru Ban, built for people made homeless in the earthquake
http://www.madam-studio.com/japansmall22.jpg
Kobe in the morning from my brother's room in the Okura hotel
