Yodobashi Akiba
My favorite electronic shop in Tokyo: Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara.
Tokyo, Japan’s bustling capital, is a vibrant metropolis where tradition and modernity coexist in perfect harmony. The city offers everything from futuristic skyscrapers and neon-lit districts to serene temples and historic neighborhoods. Shibuya and Shinjuku pulse with energy, featuring world-famous landmarks like the Shibuya Scramble Crossing and bustling entertainment hubs, while districts like Asakusa preserve Tokyo’s cultural roots with Senso-ji Temple, the city’s oldest Buddhist temple. Akihabara is a paradise for tech enthusiasts and anime fans, while Harajuku and Omotesando showcase cutting-edge fashion and design. Tokyo’s green spaces, such as Ueno Park and the Imperial Palace gardens, provide peaceful retreats amidst the urban landscape. Food lovers can enjoy everything from Michelin-starred dining to street food, including sushi, ramen, and izakaya delights. With its efficient transportation system, unique attractions, and ever-changing skyline, Tokyo is a city that constantly surprises and captivates visitors from all over the world.

Took the bazooka out on the platform in Suidobashi (my EF400mm). Nice compression effect.
And now Sensoji with a telephoto zoom lens: RF70-200mm. A telephoto zoom lens is great for landscape.
Quick visit last June at the Sensoji in Asakusa. Lot of sun, almost no tourists. Took two lenses there, wide angle and a telephoto one. Here the results with the RF15-35mm, the wide one.
Just a little bit of what we all need – breathe in, breathe out.
