    • At a streetcorner in the Ginza area there is a small statue of the coicorin. This statue is supposed to bring good luck if you pet it. There are certain areas to pet. For instance the stumic if you want to loose weight, or the head to find a lost love.

    • Tokyo toweris built in 1958 and is 333m high. When the wheather is good you have a nice view from the 360° viewing platform. But if it is a bit hazy, which occurs much in summer in Tokyo, you can save the 860 yen entrance fee. There are free viewing points on the 45th floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and on the 46th floor of the Tokyo Shin Hankyu Hotel.

    • North of the Ueno park is one of the best kept graveyards we encountered in Japan. The colorful red and green trees between the tombstones make such nice pictures....

    • Under the high skyscrapers in Shinjuku we found this tiny fleamarket. Locals sold everything from shoes and clothes to books and statues.
    The fleamarket was one level below streetlevel in front of the Mitsui building.
    We visited on a saturday.
