How have I not blogged anything from Japan yet? Back in 2010, I spent two weeks exploring this fantastic country. We travelled through Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima, and took day trips out from each city. I definitely want need to go back.
So here’s Chapter 1: the people and lights of Tokyo. Harajuku was as mind-blowing as I imagined, and I felt incredibly under-dressed the entire time!











I'm Char. I live in London and like taking photographs. 
Great shots. It’s my aim to get into Japan this year sometime. Looking forward to part 2…
One of the most interesting and beautiful countries on Earth… I hope you get the chance to go!
I love these photos, especially the very first one. I’ve been to Japan a couple of times, but it’s been a while. These shots definitely brought back some memories. =]
There’s some great deals on this year to boost tourism… wish I could go.
We are back in Tokyo in a couple of weeks, now I am even more excited! Great shots!
Jealous – have fun!
Beautiful pictures! I was in Japan in 2010 as well. And I loved it. After seeing these pictures I know I’ll have to book another trip to Japan soon.
It draws everyone in :) all my friends that have been want to go back!
How’s possible I didn’t know you had been to Tokyo? I was there in Feb 2009 and absolutely loved it! The street lights and bokeh are pretty crazy in that city, aren’t day?! ;) I posted Japan photos on my Flickr for months afterwards, but don’t think I’ve seen many of yours there?
Only posted a few Japan pics to Flickr… and they were mostly monkeys and torii :) seems I got a lot more to blog!
oooh! i can’t wait to see more pics from this trip. it’s #1 on my must-visit list.
Every time I upgrade camera or lenses, I feel the urge to re-visit everywhere I’ve been ;) especially Japan!
wonderful photos, looking forward to seeing what else you have to post :)
