@Chiba:

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.

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!)

Brilliant idea Snowy.  I go over this crossing about 6 times every day, when I am in Tokyo, I will try and do the same in future…..

Quite a few people looked at me either before/during/after their photo was taken. The beauty of Shibuya Crossing is that everyone takes photos there, and there are 1000's of people crossing there every few minutes (photo below). So while most thought I was taking a photo they were in, I'm sure they were actually thinking I was focusing on the crossing itself. Incidentally, someone with a Leica M9 took my photo @ the crossing.

….and we're back. I seemed to have picked up a virus on the plane on the way back, else, all is well Mrs Snowy's off to a specailist in a few days, but unless we're walking 20,000+ steps a day like we were, she's okay, which is good.
