BITS AND PIECES OF JAPAN

03/JAN/2002

HIMEJI

[WELCOME TO HIMEJI]

Babies known as QP [the symbol character of a Mayonnaise company].

[Himeji Castle]

Also known as The White Heron Castle. Very much fun exploring the castle.

KOBE

[Chinatown in Kobe]

Small but lively Chinatown. One of the three Chinatowns in Japan.

[Luminarie]

Famous light show in Kobe, which started after the big earthquake which heavily damaged this area in 1997. Expect huge crowds.

TOKYO

[Tokyo Station (Underground)]

Very difficult to present the Tokyo Station in one photo. Perhaps this one did it.

[Tsukiji]

Market place, selling fresh seafood, like these octopi.

[Sushi Bar at Tsukiji]

Yum-yum.

[Akihabara]

Japan's biggest shopping area for those looking for electronic appliances. Simply too huge to find the cheapest shop for the particular item you're looking for. You should consult a magazine or book before coming here, really.

[Shibuya]

Japan's Piccadilly Circus or Times Square (but with no musical place).
