JAPAN

Last year I went to Japan in September. It was amazing. Here are a few shots from the Baby Holga camera I bought there, in Tokyu Hands department store.

This is where we stayed. It was in Ikebukuro, the red light district. It was the best place, as it felt like you were part of the neighbourhood. Not a tourist in a hotel.

One day we went to Ueno Park. It was quite pretty there were a few shrines.

And some monuments.

Most of the park was a big lake, absolutely covered in lily pads.

And there were some fish in the water, there were actually quite big.

I thought this was cute. It was a guy visiting the park patting a stray cat.

Then we went to the Imperial Gardens. It was a shame though because the actual Imperial Palace is only open two days in a year and we weren't there on those days.

This is on a boat, a replica of a Swiss boat in fact, on Lake Ashi. It was spectacular. With occasional foggy views of Mount Fuji.


This is the view of the main street in Harajuku. Busy.
