Happy Sunday from Japan! I took a short bike ride this afternoon to find and capture some of this season’s final cherry blossoms in my extended neighborhood in the Itabashi Ward of Tokyo. Unedited iPhone shots.

20 years ago, day 7 of my first Japan trip was the last one spent in Tokyo before starting to move west. After visiting the Imperial Palace East Gardens in the morning, I went to Odaiba and checked out the Miraikan (National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation).

Day 5 of my first Japan trip 20 years ago was spent at various Tokyo locations. I went to Ginza to meet a friend (who worked at Ricoh at the time) for lunch. In the afternoon, I went to Akihabara, then on to Shinjuku.

Neighborhood cherry blossoms are the best 😍

Day 2 of my first Japan trip 20 years ago was cherry blossoms-themed. I first went to Kitanomaru Park, then to Shinjuku Gyoen. In the evening, I met some photography friends around Yurakucho, and a salaryman posed for me.

Today’s one-plate lunch at “Little Bean Works”, my favorite neighborhood cafe. Okra, ham & peperoncino pasta, chicken rice and salad. Followed by an iced Caffe Latte and a Basque cheesecake. Life is good. 😌

Hello from Tokyo! Oliver Hardy's quote "A lot of weather we've been having lately ..." comes to mind watching today's move from morning-hours snowfall to afternoon early-spring sun.

Anyway - here's a set of photos of "Yuraku Concourse", a small pub-filled tunnel.

Happy weekend from Tokyo!

Made a brief visit to the local temple (南蔵院/Nanzōin) this morning, and could feel some positive energy flowing.
