Photos from Japan - Part 1
I've finally uploaded the photos from my trip to Japan; so you can now view them all here
As usual, I've included some pictures below with a bit of commentary to explain the scene. You can now click on the photo to view the original image.
Me and my brother arriving to the Narita airport in Japan
Entrance to the arcade and temples in Asakusa, Tokyo
A Buddhist temple in Asakusa: the more traditional part of Tokyo
A fashion show in central Tokyo
The imperial gardens in central Tokyo
Me enjoying the imperial gardens in Tokyo
Near the imperial palace area in central Tokyo
Streets of central Tokyo in the evening.
Japanese market in Ueno, Tokyo.
Sushi restaurant, where the sushi plates rotate around, at a market in Ueno.
Me near a lily pond in Ueno park, Tokyo
School kids in their uniforms at Ueno park in Tokyo
Shibuya the world's busiest intersection located in Tokyo.
The streets on an evening in Shibuya, Tokyo.
My brother with a view of the mountains and a river in the baground: near the temples of Nikko.
A girl (Buddhist monk) from the largest temple in Nikko; the temple has one of the largest Buddha statues in Japan.
Temples of Nikko. Nikko used to be a capital of Japan and has a high concentration of Buddhist temples.
A beautiful path through the woods between temples in Nikko.
At a youth hostel in Sendai that comes with traditional Japanese bedrooms.
Drinking traditional Japanese tea, served to us in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony in Matsushima.
A neat site with ancient budha statues and alters amids the tall cedar trees in Matsushima with small caved rooms and wall carvings.
At Jigokudani (Hell Valley) in Noboribetsu, Hokaido with steam coming out of the rocks.
Oyu-numa (Boiling Water Swamp), this sulphuric pond in Noboribetsu has a weird colour and a surface temperature of 130 C.
An amazing manga cafe in Sapporo, Hokaido. This cafe looked really fancy; you get nearly 30 choices of free drinks for something like $4/hr. You can watch free dvds on a flat screen TV, surf the internet on a nice computer or relax reading manga (comics) or magazines chosen from a large selection.
Sitting at the traditionaly low tables at a restaurant in Sapporo, Hokaido (Northern Japan).
