There are a few more experiences worth mentioning that don't quite fall into an obvious category, so the next few pictures are a hodge-podge of some of the best or most unusual sights we saw while in Tokyo. Some were places we visited with a sightseeing purpose, others we just inadvertently stumbled upon while shopping. Enjoy!
Seiko Musical Clock in Ginza.
These Maneki Nekos mean "Welcome! Come in to my store!" and supposedly bring good fortune to the store owner.
Walking under the giant lantern, or "chÅchin" in Asakusa.
Prayers are written on wooden plates and hung up for all to see at the Meiji-Jingu Shinto Shrine.
The masses of people at the market in Asakusa.
Shinjuku at night...much like our Times Square in NYC.
Bottles of sake for tasting at a Japanese "flea market" of sorts.
Meiji-Jingu Shine
Tokyo International Forum Building (kind of like a convention center).
Rows and rows of Japanese fabric at Venus Fort Shopping Mall.
Central Italian-style fountain at Venus Fort Shopping Center
