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. Here are some of the photos I captured during my visits. Enjoy your virtual tour!
The Roastery by Nozy Coffee near Omotesando serves up one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The coffee is rich, perfectly balanced, and crafted with incredible attention to detail. The combination of high-quality beans and expert preparation makes every sip an absolute delight. A must-visit for coffee lovers in Tokyo!
Kei Meguro had a short but stunning expo in Harajuku last week.

Expressway tunnels in Tokyo, captured handheld with the GX85. The smooth lines, glowing lights, and sense of motion make these tunnels surprisingly photogenic, especially with the camera’s excellent stabilization handling the low light and movement beautifully. A little urban photography on the go!
Rainy drive: just the kind of weather that makes leaving home on a Sunday to head to the airport for work even less appealing. Gloomy skies, wet roads, and the promise of a long week ahead—what a combination.
Planned to get some work done at Starbucks, but of course, the iPad decided it was the perfect time for an update. So much for being productive—ended up sipping coffee and watching the progress bar instead. Classic.
Good service at Starbucks is a given, but in Japan, it comes with the added charm of the famous “Starbucks smile.” The staff’s politeness and warm demeanor make every visit feel welcoming, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a while. It’s a little touch that makes a big difference.
Time for a delicious curry at my favorite Thai restaurant. There’s something about the balance of sweet, spicy, and creamy in Thai curry that I find irresistible—somehow, I even prefer it to Indian curry. Maybe it’s the addition of coconut milk or the fresh herbs, but it always hits the spot perfectly.
