Kanda Myojin is one of the few shrines in Tokyo that survived the WWII bombings, preserving a rich history in the heart of the city. The current structure dates back to 1934, rebuilt after the Great Kanto Earthquake’s fires. The shrine is dedicated to three deities: Daikokuten, the god of good harvest and matrimony; Ebisu,…
The Yukata season is back—yeah! It’s always a delight to see people strolling around in these lightweight summer kimonos, bringing a pop of tradition and color to the streets and festivals. Nothing says summer in Japan quite like it!
Deep underground in Yodobashi Camera Akihabara, I discovered a bicycle parking area. At a fixed price of ¥400, it’s no surprise the place is almost always empty. Convenient location, sure—but at that rate, it seems like most people would rather take their chances elsewhere!
Right next to the bustling JR station in Shinjuku, I stumbled upon a surprisingly old parking entrance. Its faded signs and worn concrete felt like a relic from another era, standing in stark contrast to the modern, fast-paced vibe of the area. A quiet reminder of Shinjuku’s layers of history amid all the urban energy.
Yes, I know—another one—but I just can’t resist: more platform motion blur! There’s something endlessly fascinating about capturing the dynamic flow of trains against the stillness of the platform. The streaks of light and color add an energy that never gets old. It’s a shot I’ll probably keep revisiting.
My first Shake Shack experience in Tokyo was surprisingly pleasant. The key is to keep it simple—skip the fries, ignore the overpriced drinks, and go straight for a classic burger. Juicy, flavorful, and satisfying, it’s the one thing they truly nail. Sometimes, less is more!
Sitting back and relaxing at cruising altitude in business class—a rare treat! The extra space, reclining seat, and quiet cabin make a world of difference. It’s a chance to unwind, enjoy the view from above, and savor the perks of flying in comfort. Moments like these remind me why business class is worth it, even…
Flying business class with ANA offered great food, beautifully presented and full of flavor. However, the wine selection felt a bit underwhelming—limited options that didn’t quite match the high standard of the cuisine. Still, the overall dining experience was enjoyable, with attention to detail that made it stand out.
A few bubbles in my tummy before take-off—enjoying a pre-flight drink to pass the time. Unfortunately, take-off ended up being delayed by three hours due to a balance issue with the cargo. Not the smoothest start, but at least there was time to sip and relax before the long wait!
This might just be my favorite shot from last week’s visit to San Francisco. The composition, the mood—it all came together perfectly. Now the real dilemma: color or black and white? The color version captures the vibrancy and life of the scene, while the black and white emphasizes texture, contrast, and timelessness. Tough call, but…
