Some photographs from Japan

well-ventilated smoking room, they have an outdoor one as well

Pagoda at Asakusa Temple, since it was just the start of winter, we still got to see the autumn look on the trees.

The main building at Asakusa

around the courtyard

some kind of ritual

the busy alley street within the temple compound

at the entrance to the temple

one of the park statue near to the imperial palace

Ginza shopping district!

really like the facade finish on this building

Daimaru building next to the Tokyo station

pardon the horizon tilt

can't remember which lake is this

peace park

Mt. Fuji at the background

if only we were there in the morning when the sky is usual clear

We didn't manage to go up Mt. Fuji again.... twice I have been there and both times we didn't have a chance due to weather conditions. But instead, we got to watch a boring 10mins video on how Mt. Fuji was created

But at least I still got a nice picture of Mt. Fuji

Advise: Please do not attempt to visit Disneyland on weekends :ma

, I would give an estimation of at least above 5k visitors. The crowd was madness, the queue is

. What made it all bad was the 25th Anniversary celebration held daily till end of 2008.

that's about all, the rest are mostly of my GF. Sad to say, didn't managed to do much streetshooting. Will plan for another trip there and this time F&E

no chance at all when you follow a guided tour, bring you to places you don't want to go

**blue33** · 14th Dec 2008, 23:01

Good shots! Is this a group tour or free and easy?

Thanks for sharing.

45 mins only in ginza? it could be good luck for you. not too good to stay there too long if the wifey or GF is there with you
