Tokyo tourism

Some photos of things to see around Tokyo:

Statue of a Samurai


Tokyo Rainbow Bridge (name decided by committee)

Tokyo’s very own Statue of Liberty.

Apparently they borrowed the original from the banks of the Seine for “France Day” some time ago and, after they had to send it back, they decided to get their own one.

Fuji-san from Tokyo Tower.

Last time I was here I couldn’t see him as it was raining so it was nice to finally get that all important picture.

One of the bridges into the imperial palace, the gate is as close as you can get.


Finally, a collection of sunset pics from over Tokyo Bay.  We ate rather naff Chinese buffet from the balcony of the restaurant with the most amazing view in all Tokyo!

Isn’t modern technology a wonderful thing?  I would cheerfully buy a couple of those as postcards but I can’t take the credit – it was all the auto setting on my point and shoot digicam!

About Nell

I am a researcher in bionanotechnology currently living and working in Tokyo. I moved out here nearly three years ago, against my better judgement but in search of adventure. It has certainly been an adventure and not one I would have missed for the world. I am trying to retrain as a designer and you may see the odd example of my work appear here as I progress. I also indulge in opinionated rambling.
