Snowy Photos Japan - 2014

@Aetas, no, we've not. I'm a vegetarian and Mrs Snowy doesn't like fish. Really tempted to break out and try it for the hell of it but imagine the shock to the system after 10 years of vege will likely make me sick on the trip.

@4c thanks.

Bit of a mission to get here, but boy it's a lovely warm island/resort. A lovely afternoon in/around the resort.

Remind me not to buy fragile glassware until the last stop on a trip. Nice little 'vintage' setup in the room. The Fire-King glasses will be posted at some point in the future

You've convinced me that I need to see Japan someday. Really incredible pics bros.

Where you at in Okinawa? We just booked our trip down today for the golden week holiday. Will be my first visit.

We're in the Intercontinental, about an hour from the airport and an hour from the aquarium. Very lovely island, great holiday spot, you'll have a blast I'm sure.

jdl, both Mrs Snowy and I are keen for our 3rd trip to Japan, and we've not even finished our second. A huge and diverse country. VERY kind people with language barriers never getting in the way.

Friday, GMB, thank you both.

Okinawa Aquarium was pretty amazing today. Saw a few animals I'd never seen before, an enjoyable drive, and we stopped on the way back to check out some other sites and have a walk for the fun of it (why else hire a car, right?)

It's definitely the diversity that's so attractive. I particularly love the countryside views. Now to convince my other half to get on a plane, this may take a bit of doing.

Great photos, as always! Just showed the aquarium pics to my 5 year old. He's stoked. We'll be staying right next to the aquarium, aquariums being just about his favorite thing in the world at the moment.

There's always more to see and do in Japan / most countries and the great thing is it's still here ready for your next trip. I'm sure you had a great trip when you were here and that it was spot on for what you were after at the time in the time you had. Feel free to PM me when you do start planning your next trip, happy to help if there's anything in particular.

….and we're back in Tokyo, this time staying in Shibuya for a different taste of Tokyo. We're around for another 2-3 days before heading back to Sydney. Today we wandered around Shibuya/ Harajuku and eventually Shinjuku before heading back to Shibuya.

Another unstructured day, walked around Ueno and Ebisu during the day and Akihabara this evening. Chanced upon UES and The Flat Head today whilst walking around, popped into both and had fun chats.

Damn Snowy, you have a great eye….

Last day in Japan before heading back to Australia tomorrow and Mrs Snowy's done her leg in. As such we limped around this morning, and I headed down to Shibuya station this afternoon by myself to capture a few of the current fashionable people/looks in Tokyo. There's a widdddeeee variety of fashion sense here, but it generally 'works' on the people. This was snapped over around 1.5 hours at the famous station crossing.

Thank you all for your support on our holiday, I'm glad you've enjoyed viewing it. We've certainly enjoyed being here, and will be back soon (next time hopefully syncing with The Stubborn Crew!)
