Tokyo – End of the road

Two days in Tokyo, flying home at the end of the second. Main aim for day one was to check out Electronics Mecca – Akihabara Electric Town. Because of the inside of shops thing I don’t have a lot of photos, but here’s what we saw. Flying petrol dispensers were a novelty:

Fuel From the Sky

Elevator mirrors were also a novelty:

Cherry blossoms coating the river:

Teeny widdle car:

And one little corner of one of bazillions of massive electronic stores:

And it wasn’t as much fun for this gadget geek as you might expect – there’s just too many options, it’s overwhelming.

So we had to sit down and enjoy some Wagyū (the family of beef that includes Kobe, Mishima, Ōmi, Sanda etc):

My kind of map

Ah, but that’s right, I’m saving the food photos for later. So here’s some more city scenes:

And what was this chicken thinking?
