daily monochrome : Japan

Tokyo, Japan. 2011. i had the chance to visit japan in spring of 2011 , exactly one week after the major earthquake and Tsunami.

contrast to what the news of western media often tells, Tokyo is still go as it was, theres no sign of panic whatsoever. albeit the reoccurring blackouts which is weird to look dimmer sight of tokyo at night, and there’s no tourist on sight (i only see handful of tourist on my 2 week stay).

everything just go as it. Japan still warmly welcoming as it always has.

a kind friend of my travelling friends let us to stay at her house at Mitaka (thank you Shinsuke-Kun & Ayako-San!), as the starting point to the journey to the north.

upon arriving at Haneda, late at night. we take the last train to Hamamatsucho station and walk on foot to Shibuya station.

when we are missing route, we ask the nearest police station (Koban), and they did everything (with their limited english capability) to help you. here’s they written down every turn we need to take to walk to the Shibuya station. you are not going to get lost in japan, find a Koban and ask.
