Monsters Inc.
Few pictures of an almost deserted Monsters Inc. attraction in Tokyo Disneyland. Why so few people? Because of the restrictions put in place to cope with the pandemic.
Tokyo
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!
Halloween Costumes
Welcome to Tokyo Disneyland during the Halloween Season! Things have changed though: there is now a dress code in place and costumes that belong more to a night out in Roppongi can no longer bee seen.
Small World After All
Little cruise amongst our little friends at Disneyland. Reminds of some stop-animation kids shows I used to watch when I was little… Anyway, low light performance of the R6 is quite good.
Disney Zoom
A few pictures of Tokyo Disneyland through an RF70-200mm during our Halloween visit last week.
Night Train
Love the combination of pin-point sharpness and soft bokeh of these night shots with the RF50mm/f1.2L. Even a simple railway station looks good.
Green Curry
Green curry season at my favorite place in Shimbashi. The shop has been remodeled by the way. Compare the colors and uniforms between now and before with the two photos below.
Work In Progress
Cute sign to signal ongoing roadwork in Tokyo. That’s a piece of the Kawaii Culture for you.
Izakaya Time
Things are slowly getting back to normal in Tokyo. Restaurants can now serve alcohol until 20:00 and thus, we enjoyed a short night out in one of Sugamo’s izakayas.
Commuter Train
One of these typical little train stations a bit off the center of Tokyo. Simple, but clean. Combination of IBIS + IS on the lens allows clean shot at low shutter speed (here with the R6).
