I didn’t take that many pictures in Tokyo. Sorry. Mostly I was too busy zipping around like a madwoman, shopping my feet and shoulders off. Some highlights of the trip:
- I had a bit of a tiramisu kick; the first thing I ordered in Tokyo was a tiramisu latte (Excelsior Cafe), and one of the last things was a tiramisu waffle (Noa Cafe). Both were quite good.
- I really enjoyed my garlic-themed food at To the Herbs in Ginza. It was maybe a little greasy, but I think that pizza was the first I’ve had in Japan that didn’t have any fish in it. The peach Italian soda there was also delicious.
- Shosaikan, a pen boutique by Omotesando Station, is lovely.
- As always, I enjoyed book shopping. My two main stops were Good Day Books, by Ebisu Station, and Tower Records, in Shibuya. Shibuya is crazy, but I did like the fact that Tower stayed open until 10, and having a whole floor of new English books was delightful. (Most of the other bookstores I’ve been in, even in cities like Sendai, have had a couple of rows of English books at the most.) Good Day Books was also a nice, and certainly more affordable, stop. It’s a used bookstore. The directions from the website are excellent; I found it with no trouble at all.
And of course there were other little random stops as well, but those are the ones that jump to mind when I think of Tokyo. This weekend I’m taking things a bit quieter, but there are some long weekends coming up where I’ll probably want to hit the road again, so keep your eyes peeled.

Hey…try to not buy too many books. I’d hate to get you books you bought. : ) And I love how that photo looks. Great perspective.
I think I’m banned from book-buying for a while. At least I’m banned from buying books I haven’t read. If I find a great copy of a book I love but for some reason haven’t purchased yet, the ban is lifted.
