Walk in Tokyo

After the Philippines, I spent one day in Tokyo. In the morning, I went with Naochan to Meiji Jingu (big shinto shrine next to Harajuku/ Omotesando). After she went to work, I stayed there and went for a walk in Tokyo. I started walking from Meiji Jingu to Harajuku, and then to Yoyogi and East Shinjuku.

In Meiji Jingu:




Around Harajuku Street.



And nice buildings in West Shinjuku!






This is Tokyo's City Hall. Quite an impressive complex of buildings.




This is an underground passage that extends for hundreds of meters (maybe even more than one km!) from Nishi Shinjuku to Shinjuku station (the station which handles the most people in the world -- several millions per day).



This is the view of East Shinjuku from the other side of the station.



Then, I took the metro and went to Nogi Jinja, near Roppongi. Quite a contrast with Nishi Shinjuku!!

Buenas, Álvaro. Perdona que no me haya pasado por tu blog en tanto tiempo pero en fin, tampoco estoy para muchos mensajes aunque tú, sin duda, los mereces ;)

LAs fotos son chulísimas, as usual, y Naoko looks great, as usual :p Por cierto, muy chulo tu nuevo apartamento, espero que te lleves bien con los vecinos :p

Y Álvaro, me encantó que escribieras lo de MJ, de verdad. Un saludo ;)

Hola! Gracias por los comentarios! ;) La verdad es que eres de los pocos que se atreven a escribir de forma asidua!!

Lo de MJ era casi una obligacion... y debería haber ido a Hollywood a hacer una foto de la estrella... aunque por lo visto esta protegida y casi no se puede ver...

Un saludo!
