The Shinjuku Government Metropolis Building, taken in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. ... it's quite an obscure design for a building, particularly if you view it from the entrance area.
A Fusuma in the Samurai Restaurant in Akasaka-Mitsuke in Tokyo, Japan. ...A Fusuma is a traditional japanese door... usually made with paper. And they just look so damn sexy.
I was fascinated by the vending machines in Tokyo - very colourful designs as well as functional drink and snack dispensers.

In a Sunday morning, tourists and local flocks into Asakusa Kannon Temple (Sensoji) grounds, Tokyo's most famous and popular religious place. The legend says that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River, and even though they put the statue back into the river, it always returned to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built there, being the oldest temple in town.
This is one of the many Buddhist deities found in the sorroundings of Sensoji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple (the goddess of mercy), Tokyo's oldest, situated in Asakusa, a very popular district among locals and visitors.
Here is another view of Meganebashi Bridge, a famous symbol of the Imperial Palace. In the middle of modern Tokyo, the Palace and its huge park preserve an old time mood.

Downtown Tokyo, almost 1 PM. I was going to the Imperial Palace Gardens when I heard a very familiar sound: "The girl from Ipanema" was in the air, played by a Japanese duo ("Sapatos", or "Shoes", in English), in a pedestrian street, close to Tokyo Station. It was a very amazing feeling!
This little scuffle broke out right near us.
Space is used well in Tokyo.
