Some photos from Japan

Post by **Kwacky** » 05 Nov 2016, 14:05

Just a small mix, my Facebook friends have already suffered enough and I'm not finished yet

I'm no photographer, so apologies for the quality

These are from a park next to where my friends live:-

Busiest pedestrian crossing in Asia, possibly the world and some general street shots

The Emperors Palace gardens

Strange how in some of the photos, it looks like it could almost be the UK.

Would you go back for another look?

Post by **Kwacky** » 05 Nov 2016, 15:22

Without hesitation. I want another look around Tokyo and would love to see beyond the city

Some city shots

IMHO the images you've taken do seem to reinforce a feeling of those stereotypes of effective & organised.

I'll post some photos later from one of the largest gardens in Tokyo. Everything is perfectly laid out.

When you're on that crossing I posted, hundreds of people are moving and yet no one barges into you. Even the cyclists on the pavement manage to move without hitting anyone or thing.

The trains pull up at an exact spot at the station, no one on the platform stands in front of the doors, they queue either side. The passengers get off, the waiting passengers file on.

Sounds like my kind of place- i like order.

I love the mix of old and new too - it's always been on my list to go.

7 & 8 look like the restaurant in 'Kill Bill'.

You have a canny eye with the lens.

Did the 'politeness' of the people get too overbearing? I do remember my dad saying that he struggled to cope with some of it as it was so OTT even for him.

No. Not all at. Maybe if I was there longer I might have noticed. I think it would be the lack of emotion that would get to me first.

Shinjuku Gyoen - Tokyo National Garden.

Apologies for the volume, but this place is stunning, We were there for a few hours and enjoyed a picnic.
