My office location... on an old map!

When we first moved to Shin-Nakano, we went to a neighborhood bar and had a few drinks. I noticed the map in the back was actually a historical map from shortly after WW2, which was given out to GIs after they were occupying Tokyo. The map included driving instructions for day trips, and street names in English. Our office was in Kyobashi then, so it was just interesting to see it on a historical map. My girlfriend actually managed to track down a copy for me, super interesting bit of history.

Packed freeway

Stuck in traffic on the way back from IKEA, which back then was only on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Busy city streets

Used to walk this path a lot when I first moved to Japan. Years later, still as busy as ever!

City of endless expanse

It is really hard to put into words just how much I love this city. One of my favorite shots I've ever taken of it - it just never ends and the activity is always on display.

A crazy Mario model

Some department store was doing a promo and set up this display. Kind of cool!
