  • Japanese News for Children

    Just a few minutes ago, as I was surfing channels on TV, I caught a Japanese news show for kids that was explaining the war to them. Above are a few pictures of the props that were used in the explanation.

  • Edo-Tokyo Museum

    This is another picture of the Edo-Tokyo Museum, which I visited a few weeks ago. It really is an interesting building. The red tunnel leading up that you see in the middle is the entrance to the museum. It’s actually quite a long escalator ride to get to the exhibition area.

  • Bicycles

    Just as in China, people use bicycles a lot here in Japan. In a city like Tokyo where lots of the neighborhood streets tend to be so narrow, a bike is simply the easiest way to get around. This picture was taken in Kawagoe city, just outside of Tokyo.

  • Tokyo Boy Archives

    For those wondering what’s happened to all of the Tokyo Boy daily pics archives, I just haven’t included them in the new design yet. I think I’m going to make a special page for them, as I don’t really want to include them in the present scheme.

  • Overpass

    Another picture taken from that walking overpass that leads to Yoyogi park.

  • A New Start

    So, as you can see, the new design has been up for a day now. A huge thank you goes out to Patrick (who’s online store, the Tokyo Record Hunting Service, is a must-visit for any fan of Japanese music) who helped me by answering all my stupid questions, offering tips, and testing everything on…

  • Milky Hips

    I was out in Aoyama last night, and picked up a flyer for the Milky Hips exhibit at the Rocket Gallery. It’s described as a photo exhibition of cute & pretty hips by photographer Meisa Fujishoro. The flyer that I picked up is a postcard sized version of what you see on top. I was…

  • Yoyogi Olympic Center

    This is the Yoyogi Olympic Center, which you walk by on your way from Shibuya to Yoyogi park. As I was walking by that day, they were putting up the structure for the Cirque du Soleil show.

  • Near Yoyogi Park

    This picture was taken from the walking overpass that leads to Yoyogi Park when you’re coming from Shibuya (having walked by NHK Hall).

  • Doraemon

    I really want to go see this Doraemon exhibit. Features works inspired by the character by artists like Nara (which you see here) and Murakami.
