  • Takadanobaba

    —

    Even though I’ve lived in Tokyo for years now, I was in Takadanobaba (two stations away from where I live) for the very first time tonight. Met up with Craig, who brought me to a great little Okinawa restaurant (loved the taco rice), and then we sort of wandered around, ending up sitting under Waseda…

During my walk through Harajuku, Aoyama, and Shibuya yesterday, I checked out the following, only to find that they were between exhibitions: Lapnet Ship, Nadiff, Spiral, and the Logos Gallery. Oh, and I’m sort of disappointed with the KDDI…

  • An afternoon in Harajuku and Shibuya

    —

    I was going to just stay in Ikebukuro yesterday, run a few errands, taking it easy, but then Yuko had to go to Shibuya (more precisely, to the Todai Komaba campus) and so I went with her. I started out by going to Tower Records to check out the magazines, and it’s when I was…

    You can’t very well claim to have a Tokyo blog and not include at least one pic of the sakura in full bloom, so here’s my entry. On Saturday — runny nose and itchy eyes in full effect — we went to Koma, just outside the city on the Seibu-Ikebukuro line. And since I almost…
