It’s great to hear things are slowly returning to normal in Tokyo! Being able to enjoy a short night out at a Sugamo izakaya must have felt like a little slice of pre-pandemic life. The cozy atmosphere, good food, and that first sip of beer—simple pleasures we’ve all missed. Cheers to more evenings like this…
Those small train stations just outside central Tokyo have a charm all their own—unassuming yet impeccably maintained, with a quiet, timeless vibe. Pairing the R6’s IBIS with lens IS makes capturing these scenes a breeze, even at low shutter speeds. Perfect for preserving the subtle motion of commuters or the stillness of an empty platform…
Akihabara has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past two decades. The quirky little shops crammed with rare finds and niche otaku treasures have largely given way to modern glass towers and mainstream retailers. While it’s still a tech and anime hub, it feels more polished and commercialized now. The true otaku spirit might have…
Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara is a paradise for tech enthusiasts! With floors upon floors of gadgets, cameras, and everything electronic, it’s easy to lose track of time browsing through the endless options. Whether you’re upgrading gear or just window-shopping, this place has it all. Definitely a favorite for anyone who loves tech in Tokyo! 🔌📸✨
Shinobazu Pond in Ueno Park is a tranquil escape, and its famous lotus flowers add an extra layer of beauty. During peak bloom, the pond transforms into a sea of vibrant green leaves and delicate pink blossoms—a breathtaking sight. Even in quieter seasons, the serene atmosphere and reflections on the water make it a must-visit…
Kakigori (かき氷) is a popular shaved ice desert in Japan. Quite often though, the ice looks crushed, not shaved. Now, that is a proper shaved ice. Look at how thin the ice is. And with the right topping (a mixture of strawberries and condensed milk is my case), delicious! By the way, the ice from…
One of the best ramen spots in Sugamo has to be 麺や いま村—flavors that leave a lasting impression! Now, with a different aperture, you can play with the depth of field to set the mood. Wide open (f/1.2–f/2) gives a dreamy bokeh, isolating the steaming bowl of ramen against a soft, blurred background. Stop it…
Tokyo Skytree through the EF400mm must be a sight to behold! That compression effect really pulls the scene together, making the tower pop against the background as if it were a perfectly placed cutout. It’s one of those cool quirks of telephoto lenses that turns a familiar view into something surreal and striking.
Bringing the “bazooka” (EF400mm) to Suidobashi must have been a fun experiment! That lens is perfect for creating a stunning compression effect on the platform, pulling the scene together and making everything feel tightly packed and dramatic. Such a great way to turn a mundane setting into something visually striking.
Finding a little onsen in a remote part of Hakone sounds promising, but it’s disappointing when the reality doesn’t live up to the website’s photo magic. At least the bath itself was decent—sometimes a soak can redeem an otherwise lackluster experience. Hopefully, the journey to get there made up for it, if nothing else! 🛀🌿✨
